Can a landlord refuse Section 8 in Campbell County?
Yes. Tennessee law blocks local governments from requiring voucher acceptance, so landlords in Campbell County can legally decline Section 8 applicants. Listing on a voucher-friendly marketplace is the fastest way to find the landlords who do accept.
Tennessee has no source-of-income protection
Tennessee has NO statewide source-of-income protection. The state legislature has been aggressive about preempting local anti-discrimination measures. Landlords can legally decline voucher applicants. Voucher tenants remain a solid financial option — guaranteed monthly rent, often above local market — but the choice is voluntary.
