Another Tenant Issue

[Manco Snead]

Greetings good people,

Wondering how you would approach the following situation:

In one unit (2 bed/1 bath, class B/C) of my OOS duplex lives a middle age woman and her 8 yr old son on section 8. I dealt with this tenant's advocate friend from their church alot before I hired a PM for this property. This advocate friend has contacted me asking if the tenant's older (maybe 30) son can move into the unit with her as the tenant is having health issues. The older son has some past legal issues (don't know specifics), but according to the tenant's advocate friend they have maybe been "resolved." The current tenant has been ok, not great, paying late sometimes.  

I believe in working with tenants but don't want to create a mess for myself. Given that I also have a PM, how would you approach this situation?

Much thanks.

"Hey thanks for reaching out XXX. Since we last spoke I've hired a PMC to handle the property, so I'll send your info to them and have them reach out to discuss this with you."

If you hire professionals to help with things, then you need to stay out of their way when it's time to help you. I deal with clients in my day job that insert themselves, and it always is frustrating, and often costs them more time, money and headaches than they know.
