Jackson FAQ
Can a landlord refuse Section 8?
Yes. Mississippi and Jackson have no source-of-income protection, so landlords may decline vouchers as long as no federal protected class is the real reason.
Where do tenants file fair housing complaints?
With HUD or the U.S. Department of Justice for federal protected-class issues; voucher refusals alone do not currently support a complaint.
