From my understanding they have to meet 3 times the rent however the amount given to them is included as income i...e... Section 8 pays 1000 tenant has to make 2000 = 3000 total
If the utilities are not included Section 8 will adjust the voucher to make sure they have money to live off of and pay bills. All people who apply still have to meet all requirements and pass a background/Credit check I would also make sure to send out a rental verification to the previous place they lived to see what the condition of the previous apartment was in.

Ok so we run the highest priced apts in the city. The avg rent is 600-750 were 1625 to 3000 If Income is non issue we should take the $100 app fee. We wont explain 3 times rent. Fair housing laws ya know ! Ill explain to staff Shut up fair housing law take the money process app make them go bring back employment stubs burn up more gas waste time run app and then say after we ran and now read stated income the voucher has limits not enough to fill gap. However if your situation changes we would be happy to re run this process all over again keeping with fair housing laws of coarse and bring another $100 and we both know you loved that apartment best you have ever seen and will be back!
This thing we call life. Everybody wants what they can’t have! Fact!

Yes, you will have to accept section 8, but they will still have to qualify per your policies....i.e. make 3 times the amount if rent, acceptable credit, .....
