New law--HB556--passed by veto override prohibits local governments from passing any ordinance that would forbid landlords from refusing to rent to tenants whose income includes funding from a federal, housing-assistance program

I have friends who utilize section 8.

The landlord is a slum lord. They refuse to fix a drain field with "it would cost 30k to fix it." They knew a giant tree was dangerous. A limb the size of a tree itself fell across two cars. One of the cars was totaled. (No choice but to replace a car, instead of just cutting the tree)

The management company then has the cajones to send out a letter telling them to take one shower per day, don't flush paper, etc. One of the ladies is trying to make it work by taking sponge baths.

This law will just allow this garbage human to keep shuffling until he finds more suckers. People who can't say anything or they can hit the bricks.

She said section 8 has seen the plumbing issues and still signs off.
