I agree with what others have pointed out: the apartment manager obviously doesn't want you to have another tenant in your section 8 housing unit. This is probably a rule of the apartment complex that is outlined in the lease (or whatever paperwork you signed before moving in). Many apartment complexes (and IL living communities) have this same rule.
If your rent is being subsidized then no you cannot have Mom living with you. The Amount u pay is based on your income and only you can live there. If you go against this, you can lose your apartment. You would probably need to reapply to the program who is helping you for a bigger apt and Moms income being included. This will not be an overnight thing. May need to find other options. Getting Mom "in home" Medicaid ifvshe has no money. Getting her placed and on Medicaid.
Read your lease. Another person may have to be listed on the lease as a tenant If you are in a 1 bedroom apartment you might not be able to have 2 people in the apartment. And if you are in a program where your lease is being paid by an agency you may have to see what their regulations are.
