1 bedroom Section 8 apartments in Old Germantown, Germantown
The HUD rent benchmark is $1,710/mo for a 1 bedroom unit in ZIP 38138 — Small-Area FMR. This is not a guaranteed rent approval; confirm the applicable household calculation and utility allowance with the administering agency.
No source-of-income protection in effect
Tennessee does not protect Housing Choice Voucher holders from source-of-income discrimination. TN state law has no SOI protection, and the state legislature has repeatedly preempted local anti-discrimination measures. A landlord can legally decline a voucher applicant. Voucher tenants remain a solid financial choice for landlords who want guaranteed monthly rent — the choice is yours to make, either way.
