*Don't* do section 8. My neighbor did that. The woman had her early
elementary aged kid up at 11PM on school nights and I got to listen to
Mom talk on the phone at all hours of the night because she smoked
outside and yakked when smoking (not loud, but it was practically
underneath my bedroom window). Fortunately, they had a good social
worker so Neighbor was able to move them out easily. She has a
"perfect renter" now that she found through Craig's list.
