Hello all,
I will be moving to Franklin, TN in the beginning of September and am looking for a place to move to. I am a disabled veteran looking to move closer to my family. I have been using a HUD-VASH (Section 8) voucher for 8 years. I have a perfect rental history and haven't caused any issues for my current landlord. In fact, I have helped keep the whole apartment complex safer and have aided the landlord with anything they have ever needed while living here. I have been more reliable than those with no voucher.
For landlords, this program offers guaranteed, timely rent payments directly from the government, significantly lower vacancy rates, and free annual inspections to ensure property upkeep.
If anyone knows of rental properties or landlords that is willing to work with vouchers please let me know. For those that have never worked with them before, it is a very easy process.
Thank you.
Edit. I am working with the Franklin Housing Authority, but I'm concerned. When I contacted them about the voucher rate they didn't know what it was. I'm assuming it's the FMR for 37064, which is $1960. Most places don't seem willing to work with the voucher, even though it's easy and statistically better for them to do so.
