FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A bill that will undo efforts in Kentucky’s two largest cities to ban landlords from discriminating against renters who use federal housing vouchers has been restored after Republican lawmakers quickly overrode the Democratic governor’s veto. The override votes completed work on the bill Wednesday. The lopsided override votes in the House and Senate came a day after Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed the legislation. It was Beshear’s first veto of this year’s legislative session. But more are expected amid policy clashes between the Democratic governor and the GOP legislative supermajorities.
You're viewing a single thread.
The article didn't have a lot of detail on specifically what exactly want going to be allowed. I realize it would have prevented discrimination but specially in what way.
What do you mean? It's: landlords cannot discriminate against renters using housing vouchers. As in: landlords cannot deny renters just because of they're paying rent with vouchers.

I lived nextdoor to a massive section 8 apartment and never had any problems fwiw. Sucks that you had a hard time but it's definitely a ymmv thing.
Just because someone is using a voucher doesn't mean they're going to attract crime. Where I lived, it was mostly immigrants that were new to the country.
It's not even called section 8 anymore.
Not saying all people on section 8 are criminals of course. And not saying every single section 8 complex turns out like the one I lived in. But, honestly, when stories like mine are somewhat common...if you were a landlord...would you roll the dice on your complex becoming the one famous for no pizza delivery due to all the rape?
No none of that is the reason why, it's just because they and you are racist! /s

Such as you and the previous commenter? With zero prompting?
I mean...he prompted it? I responded to him?
You don't see how dumb it is to complain that someone is surely going to come along and make it about race in response to the guy who literally made it about race?
In most states a landlord can choose if they want to accept a certain form of payment. Mainly my question was., did a landlord have to accept the renter who was on assistance or could they just say no not going to going to accept those on assistance.
But thank you for the clarification.
Many states are changing the rules and requiring landlords to accept housing choice vouchers.
