No and they are not required to take it. You have a contract, you promised to pay for a year and they promised to provide a place to live. They could sue you for balance of lease, get judgement etc

It depends on the terms of your lease and local laws. You may be able to negotiate with your landlord to break the lease early due to your Section 8 voucher, but you should check the lease agreement and seek advice from a legal professional or housing authority for guidance.

Can you break your lease if they break into your apartment?

If your landlord breaks into your apartment or enters it without notifying you, this is grounds to break a lease. You can't break a lease just because there was a break in, however. Landlords are not even legally required to tell you if you are moving into a high crime area. If you can prove this is an ongoing and pervasive problem , it may be grounds to break your lease. Get real documentation, not just hearsay.Police reports and other victims or witnesses.


Will you lose your section 8 voucher if you are evicted on section 8?

If you weren't on Section 8 when you were evicted, yes. If you were on Section 8 (now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program) and were evicted because of violation of lease or non-payment of rent, you could lose your voucher, something that your Housing Program Coordinator and his supervisor can decide on a case-by-case basis. Let's clarify that an eviction is not a simple note by the landlord asking you to move: it's a court proceeding petitioni9ng a judge or magistrate to force you to move out.


What are my rights should the landord wish to break lease?

As a tenant, if the landlord wishes to break their own lease, you have the right to seek damages just as they would if you had broken your lease. The usual outcome for a landlord to break a lease is that the landlord forfeits any right to retain the security deposit.

Will an 18 year old child change a section 8 voucher?

It may be legal in some states; however, I would suggest that you just get a job so you don't have to apply for section 8. There are people out there who actually need section 8 because they don't have a home and cannot work, so just save it for them.


Section 8 how can you get a tenant permantly kicked off of section 8?

Talk to the housing authority that issued the voucher. This is a pretty vicious thing to do, not that it isn't sometimes warranted.Is the person or family using drugs? What would be your reason for wanting to harass someone on the housing choice voucher? Might just want to live your life if you're not being bothered.


You just got approved for your mortgage can you break your lease?

Check in with your leasing office. Sometimes you get lucky; your penalty will be a month or so of rent. Others charge you the entire amount remaining on your lease. It depends on your lease. I once was lucky--they wanted the apartment for someone else.

If both of you agreed upon the same terms and conditions, and signed the lease accordingly, then it is just as binding as one that would be furnished by an attorney, etc.


Will you lose your section 8 apartment if you go away to school?

I would ask the Section 8 program if you can transfer your section 8 voucher to your new city and find a section 8 apartment there, and stay in that apt 'til you graduate. Otherwise, just ask your local Section 8 program since every locality handles it differently.
