Section 8 vouchers
Federal law bars tax-credit buildings from turning down an applicant just because they use a Section 8 voucher. New York City and New York State law ban source-of-income discrimination, so a landlord can't turn you down because you use a voucher or other housing assistance (NYC Human Rights Law § 8-107(5)). Learn your rights.
