Landlords oppose bill to expand Section 8 housing in Illinois – Center Square

Paul Arena of the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association said the bill requires landlords who do not want to sign Section 8 contracts to do so. “All of the control is in the hands of the housing authority. You operate on whatever terms they decide should exist at the beginning of the lease. And it says in the contract that they can change the terms in the middle of the lease.”
