It's a little complicated. The rules for section 8 set a limit to the rent that can be charged by the landlord. This depends on where the apartment is and what is provided in the way of appliances and utilities. Note. In general, if you find a three bedroom unit whose rent is within the limit for a 2 bedroom, the section 8 people won't allow you to take it. If this happens to you, ask the landlord to rent it to you as a 2-bedroom, 2-living room unit. Strangely enough, this is quite legal. Provided you find a home that is within the limit, the housing authority will "means test" you to decide how much you can afford to pay yourself; they will then pay the difference directly to the landlord. You then pay what they didn't. Warning. Take great care to pay your portion. If you don't you will lose your voucher.
