In spite of the clear, or perhaps the not so "clear," fact that the Sterling Apartments (which is owned by AIR Communities) is "registered" and "certified" with the Philadelphia Housing Authority and, in effect, also with HUD, to lease to applicants possessing the Section 8 housing choice voucher (HCV), it actually does NOT do so. That is to say, the Sterling Apartments refuses to abide by ALL of HUD's and the PHA's MANDATORY HCV program rules while precisely in order for it, and other such real estate entities, to rent to Section 8 applicants, it is required to abide by all of these rules. Most specifically, the one concerning rent to income ratio when an HCV holder is involved. When such an applicant is involved, the PHA determines what the amount (equal to roughly 30 percent of the Section 8 recipient's very low income) of the small portion of the monthly rent paid by the lessee will be, while it (the PHA) covers the remaining monthly rental amount via its rather large housing subsidy. Thus, in situations such as these, there is absolutely no need for apartment buildings that participate in the HCV program to apply the same rent to income criteria to HCV voucher holders that is used for "conventional" lessees, because the former type of renter isn't the party responsible for paying most of the rent; the PHA is. Most of the cost isn't coming out of the voucher holder's pocket, so to speak. It is an extremely simple concept that even a ten year old, or perhaps even younger, child could comprehend. The Sterling Apartments, as well as, for that matter, Park Towne Place (which is also owned by the aforementioned AIR Communities), very similar to most other real estate entities (including even many of those who are HCV-certified "landlords"), will do every single thing possible that it can to keep Section 8 tenants out. Isn't that correct, Miss Cindy Frymire and Mister Patrick McGarry?! (These two extremely devious and unethical individuals won't respond to me, or to those at the PHA--such as Wayman Blackstock and Shane Manila--because they both know that we're 100 percent correct, and they both greatly lack the courage to do so.) Consequently, they should be legally punished for LYING and not abiding by the conditions of its contract with HUD and the PHA, not to mention also for receiving the tax credits given to those "landlords" who sign the said contracts while at the same time not doing what it is obligated by law to do. IF THE STERLING APARTMENTS, AND AIR COMMUNITIES, DO NOT WANT TO LEASE TO SECTION 8 RENTERS, FINE, BUT THEN JUST DON'T REGISTER WITH THE APROPOS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES FALSELY CLAIMING THAT THEY WILL DO SO, AND IN THE PROCESS, ONLY RAISING PEOPLE'S HOPES AND THEN HAVING THEM CRASH DOWN. As a result of this LIE, The Fair Housing Commission Of Philadelphia has been notified. If Google Reviews allowed one to give a zero star review, I obviously most certainly would, as the Sterling Apartments most certainly thoroughly deserves nothing more!
