Your rights

Tennessee has no statewide source-of-income protection, and private landlord participation in the voucher program is generally voluntary. Memphis's Fair Housing Ordinance has been described as covering source of income, but sources conflict on whether it compels landlords to accept vouchers — verify with the City of Memphis or a legal aid provider. Federal Fair Housing protections always apply.

Neighborhood

The South City area sits just south of downtown Memphis, served by MATA bus routes with connections downtown and to the Medical District.
