How long can you have house guest when on section 8?

Under Section 8 housing assistance, guests can typically stay for up to 14 consecutive days within a 12-month period without affecting your assistance. However, any longer stay may require prior approval from your local Public Housing Authority (PHA) to ensure it doesn't violate lease agreements or program rules. It's important to check with your specific PHA for their regulations, as they can vary. Always keep open communication with your landlord and PHA regarding guest arrangements.
