The City of Tucson is more than six months into enforcing a law that requires landlords to accept government payments and the city says the law has made a big difference.
TUCSON, Ariz. — There’s been a shortage of rental properties. It’s been even worse if you depend on government subsidies landlords are reluctant to accept. But now the City of Tucson is more than six months into enforcing a law that requires landlords to accept government payments and the city says the law has made a big difference.
Often people who can’t afford a place to live can get government subsidies to help, but some landlords refused to accept the government vouchers. But the City of Tucson passed a source of income ordinance saying landlords can not refuse to rent to someone who relies on income like government subsidies, alimony, child support or foster care subsidies.
Fernando Moraga says Tucson’s rule opened up so many properties, most of about six thousand families have found places to live. He added the number of landlords working with the city jumped from 166 to about 2200.
