Other properties around here allow Section 8, but my owner doesn't. It's more hassle for the owner than a tenant who is not on Section 8, and there are enough applicants here, that he doesn't need to do it.
Section 8 leases are different, there are different rules regarding giving notice to vacate, etc., from what I understand.

like you have to fix things in the apt and hall and grounds thats the only difference
It's not always the landlord who cares if the tenant calls the cops, it's the cops. They don't appreciate being called for stupid stuff that the onsite manager should be and could be handling. Your boss could end up fined by the city for such calls..you might want to call them as ask if they have such a policy. Or at least tell your tenants to call the non emergency number and let the police decide if they show up or not.

My boss will be fined because I called the cops because a person was sleeping in the hallway? That is "stupid stuff"? You're just stretching for something to be mean about now. That's ridiculous.

I DID call 911. got balled out cause the past out drunk in the hall way was a tenant. Was told wasn't my business as long as I could get safely in my apt ... Seems the difference in a full paying tenant and one on Section 8. Not long after that they evicted a tenant After they called the cops for being drunk in their own apt. YES I would call mgr let them handle it. YOUR Job.
That's terrible that they told you that - how are you supposed to guess if the hallway drunk is dangerous or not before risking walking by him? You also couldn't have known if it was actually someone in a diabetic emergency or somerthing (which can look a lot like a woozy drunk). I would have called the cops too, and let them figure out the drunk's issue.
I've actually had cops thank me for calling in suspicious stuff that some people would consider "stupid calls". One told me I was the only person that night to call in four rapid gunshots at 11pm in a heavily populated suburb. What if someone was bleeding out on the ground in a nearby alley?!
