The Housing Authority in Virginia Beach will have the most comprehensive list of landlord's who offer low income apartments, duplexes and single family homes.  If you are not already approved for a Section 8 voucher, you should apply for one through the same agency. There may be a waiting list, but I'd at least apply and get myself on the list. The agency is called the Virginia Beach Housing Authority. You may find other resources as well through local homeless shelters, Salvation Army, local food banks, churches, and civic groups.  These entities can help with, food, utilities, transportation, child care, medical and mental health services, should you need any of these other types of assistance.  Good luck, and I hope your situation improves quickly.

Before going anyplace contact your local housing authority to get telephone numbers of public housing or Section 8 housing agencies. You need to find one that has openings.Section 8 is a good program. You can move into a house, apt, trailer and HUD will pay your rent, you only pay 30% of you adjusted income.  Most agencies also have a Family Self Sufficiency Program that would be excellent for you and your famiy.  It helps you set goals, employment and eventually gets you into homeownership. IF your housing authority where you live now has Section 8 voucher available, perhaps they would let you go portable to where you want to be.  If you have any questions about this program you can call my office 501 624-4405 ext 102 and I will help you in anyway I can.  Good Luck

section 8 vouchers.\n\nThis is a federal program that funds state and local govts. So your city will have a housing authority of some sort set up. They may even add more money than the federal govt gives them.\n\nYou have to get on a list most likely and they will interview you and see if you qualify. Then at some point they will give you the voucher.\n\nNext problem is to find a landlord willing to do it. Many think you wont take care of the place and don't want to rent to you. The program usually doesnt pay everything they just pay a lot, whatever you qualify for. You pay your portion to the landlord and the govt sends them a check for the rest. They also may not want to cause there is a limit on what can be charged. If the house is worth more you can forget it, so plan on not getting the best part of town or the nicest place. \n\nSome landlords will want to do it because the house isn't worth more, these are the houses you will want to stay away from. It would be better to have a landlord asking you what section 8 is and playing to their compasionate side if you are looking for a decent place to live than to find one hunting section 8 prospects down.\n\nYou will need to find housing that will accept you once you have been approved. The process may take some time as there may be a waiting list. Ask them how long it is.\n\nAt least you will be on the road to getting out, showing your parents that you are moving toward it may help the relationship while you wait.\n\nGood luck

You need to sign up with HUD -- the Department of Housing and Urban Developemnt in your community. You will have to pass an inspection that they will do of the property. Sometimes they are really stict, but it really is a good idea to accept section 8. When you rent to section 8 you are guaranteed your rent each month, but the tenant maybe responsible for their share depending on their income. Please do a background check and check all refrences. That really is important. I use to rent to some people who were on section 8 and for the most part it worked out ok. Good luck.

Hello,\n\nI found this information from the Stockton Court website in California.\n\nUNLAWFUL DETAINER \nInformation for Landlords and Tenants\n\nLandlord Information\n\nAs the landlord, you must begin by giving the tenant an appropriate written notice. If you are uncertain whether this should be a 3-day or a 30-day notice, you should contact a legal advisor for assistance. If the tenant has not moved out by the end of the period stated in the notice, you can begin the legal process by filing a complaint with the court. The forms to do this may be purchased from the court or are available at no charge through the court's web site at www.stocktoncourt.org. You may file your papers in person or by mail.\n\nWhen you submit your paperwork, you will need an original and at least two copies of the papers. You will also need to pay the appropriate filing fees. If you are unable to pay the court fees, you may qualify for a waiver of court fees and costs.\n\nService\n\nThe clerk will provide you with endorsed copies of the complaint and an original summons. You must then have the tenants personally served with the summons and complaint. You cannot do this yourself, but anyone who is over the age of 18 who is not a party to the suit can serve the papers for you. You may prefer to have the Sheriff's Department serve these papers for you, but you should be aware that they charge a fee for this service. The person who makes service will need to complete a Proof of Service form and give it to you. You must file this document with the court.\n\nOnce the tenants have been served, they have five calendar days to file a response with the court. If you do not receive a copy of the tenants' response by mail, you may want to come to the court to see if an answer has been filed. You should bring the original completed summons and proof of service with you to file them with the court.\n\nIf the tenants do not file a response to your complaint\n\nIf the tenants have not filed a timely answer or motion to quash service of summons and complaint, you will need to file a Request to Enter Default, a clerk's Judgment for Possession and a Writ of Possession. These forms may be obtained from the clerk's office or through the Judicial Council's web page. Once you give the completed paperwork to the clerk, you will receive the documents that you will need to take to the Sheriff's Department, Civil Division, to complete the eviction. You cannot evict the tenants yourself.\n\nIf the tenants do file a response to your complaint\n\nThere are a variety of options available to the defendants, including filing an answer or a motion in opposition to the complaint. In most cases, an answer will be filed.\n\nWhen an answer has been filed, you will need to file the original proof of service and a Memorandum to Set Case for Trial. The Proof of Service address must be as listed on the Answer. The court will mail you a notice regarding the trial date once it has been scheduled. You should receive this notice in about one week.\n\nHere is the link where I also found the above information.\n\nDepending you where you live, it could be different.\n\nHope this helps you.......................................................  :-O

Twylafox is right.  Read her answer.\n\nThere are 2 types of Section 8 assistance: One is a certificate or voucher that the tenant has been issued, and can be used anywhere that a landlord will accept (there are maximum rents that HUD will pay), given that the property will pass HUD's inspection. It stays with the tenant.  The other is when the property has a contract with HUD to provide housing to qualified tenants, and everyone receives the benefits.  \n\nThe tenant pays about 30% of their income, and the the gov't pays the rest.  Rents are paid from the local housing authority directly to the landlord.  \n\nIn an area where rents are low, it works well for the landlord, because HUD's rent maximums are decent.  In high rent areas, it's better to rent to the highest bidder.\n\n\nSect. 8 is being or has been phased out.  It was part of the evil welfare system.

it depends on your county.  A great book would be one of the Nolo Press books on tenant rights.  Nolo Press is based in California and they have several specialized books on California laws geared for individuals who need basic legal information but don't want to hire a lawyer.
