No just based on track record really. If people don't pay rent and destroy apartments, you don't want to rent to them in the future.

If you had a nice belonging that's worth a lot to you, you wouldn't go lending it out to just anyone, you would make sure you only gave it to someone you know has proven to you that they have the ability to take care of it.

If it were much faster/easier to evict tenants that don't pay, landlords will probably be more open to vouchers, but right now it's just a nightmare.

Because in today's market there are no shortage of renters, so if you were a landlord and had the choice between someone with good credit and a good job vs someone who is having the majority of the rent paid for them, it's easy to see why the former would be less risky.

Also there are more evictions (time, money, and headache) and the tenants don't tend to keep the apartments nice.
