What will happen if you take over a relatives section 8 housing because of health reasons?

LET ME ADD THAT THE PERSON WANTS TO PAY THE REGULAR RENT NOT THE SECTION 8 RATE. What will happen if you take over a relatives section 8 housing because of health reasons? Now you want to stay and take over the original cost of rent, because they want to take their section 8 certificate to another location.

  1. I think only the person who receives section 8 can use it...if any one else does use it it could be considered illegal
  2. Like I said before.... It does not work like that. If you want to live there, you will have to negotiate renting with the landlord after your relative moves out. Once the section 8 tenant has left, section 8 has nothing to do with it-unless the landlord plans on renting section 8 again. Section 8 cannot be transferred from person to person. YOU must be determined by section 8 based on your financial circumstances. If you need section 8, you must apply on your own, and take the voucher where it is accepted. If you play with the government, and hide facts about your living status, you may lose section 8 for life and receive criminal punishment. I have seen people loose section 8 permanently by simply being stupid. They will never be eligible to get it again. Go about things the right way. I told you the last time, but you deleted the question..... Best of luck to you!
  3. It's illegal and both of you could wind up in Federal Court, looking at jail sentences. You have to apply for your own and find a place of your own. It is not transferrable.
  4. Lets turn the question around for you, if you were the landlord would you like that your tenant was moving out not telling you and moving someone else in that you didn't approve? You need to go to section 8 and the landlord and see if moving is even a option. If it is then let your relatives move and you talk to the landlord and see if they will allow you to move in. The government isn't someone you want to mess with you could end up in big legal trouble.
