Leewood Place

On 04/02/2025, I contact Leewood Place in Fremont, OH. Zillow showed there were three available units. When I spoke with the woman working there she told me that these units were for people who had more income, I have a section 8 housing voucher, and she told me I could pay the $35 application fee and get on the waiting list if I am approved but I was not eligible to move into one of those units since I am lower income. She then referred me to another Woda Cooper property in Tiffin, OH because she said they would accept me there since I am lower income with a housing voucher. On their website, it says they accept housing vouchers and I was already approved at another one of their locations but declined the unit after seeing it. These properties are tax credit and they have to allow people with lower income to move in but obviously they can get more rent from people with higher income so I was told I could not have one of the three available units since I am lower income, even though she never asked me how much my income was. I am a great tenant, I have lived in the same townhome for 25 years but I am trying to move to Ohio and keep getting denied housing since I have a housing voucher and this is humiliating to say the least! I already spoke with two different regional managers from Woda Cooper on 04/07/2025, one in Michigan and one from Ohio, and the one from Ohio told me the lady may need some coaching to learn how to speak to potential tenants about the units that are available but can't be given to a person with section 8 and also she referred me to another complex in a different city that I did not inquire about but because I have a housing voucher, basically because I am low income, and she said they will accept me there. The regional manager for Woda Cooper in Ohio also told me that they get more money from working people and that they do not get the full amount requested from the section 8 housing authority in Ohio, so they want people with higher income!

I been out here for awhile. When they first built the homes. Now I feel like Im being forced to move so they can get people out here on HUD. And I don't feel like its necessary to inspect a home once or twice a month and not fix anything.
