This has been kept secret for years. Landlords that know what they are doing go after those section 8 contracts. Most people wouldn't be able to recognize a section 8 renter if they were standing right in front of them.
My old apartment, complete with modern amenities, had section 8 renters. It was targeted towards young professionals. But new construction made it 100% ADA-compliant. Which is perfect for wheelchair bound social security-disability check receivers. According to the property manager, "no problem with section, unlike you, they always pay rent on time!"
