I'm new on the Section 8 Choice Voucher Program. I want to stay where I'm already living, and the property manager had told me, 2 months ago, that would be fine. But now he is not cooperating with me very much on getting paperwork done that he has to submit to the Housing Authority.

I doubt my apartment would pass the HUD inspection without a fair bit of work being done, like repainting the bathroom. This all takes time. The manager is dragging his feet on being ready. If I don't have an apartment ready for inspection within about a month, I will lose the voucher. It says that it is only good for 60 days.

Does anyone know if Housing Authorities are willing to provide a some extra time, if a tenant is having problems being ready on time?

I will try again tomorrow to contact them, but I'm getting very nervous that this manager told me I could stay, but now won't get done what is needed so that I can. I'm a good tenant, and I don't know why he is making this difficult for me.

I'm so petrified of that 60 day interval running out before my apartment is gotten ready.
