I appreciate you posting this information and whoever posted the VRLTA info after this person, but truth is...Gates Hudson (and all the other management companies) don't care that there is overcrowding in their units, as long as the rent is paid on time. Section 8 is very profitable to them, do you think they will just obey the law all of a sudden and kick all the section 8 renters out when there are very little people right now who can afford the market rent in this economy? Think about it from a business standpoint. Now look at all the other management companies/complexes in the area that house complexes in FFx county and nearby that do the same thing:
Southern Management (vienna park, kings gardens, bayvue and longview in hoodbridge, etc)
Kettler Management ("the fields of...." properties around NoVA- herndon, manassas, especially alexandria!)
Kay Management (barcroft view, pinewood plaza)
ANY of the older less expensive apartments, ESPECIALLY along the route 1 corridor in the fairfax county section of alexandria.
ANY complexes in culmore
ANY complexes in the 7 corners area around john marshall drive
Do you think any of them are going to give up guarenteed section 8 renters/ guarenteed rent on time because its 10 of them paying $150 a month to cover the 1500 rent for the 1 bedroom- all those profits just to "follow the law"- heck no, because it would cut into their profits!
THis is not about being legal/illegal it is about MONEY to them and as long as no one in the county is cracking down on the MANAGEMENT COMPANIES for looking the other way and allowing it to happen this will CONTINUE.
VRLTA will help the individual renter looking for some relief- but in the long run this problem is just going to continue. Follow the $$$$....
