Special One Time Assistance (SOTA) Program?

[Adam Azam]

I was just informed by my property management company that a tenant (a couple) has been approved and that they qualified for this Special One Time Assistance (SOTA) Program which pays their rent for the first full year of their residency.

Has anyone had tenants in this program before? My previous tenants messed my unit up pretty bad, so I was hoping to avoid that this time. I did require double security deposit this time, before I even knew who the tenant was going to be, so that's a plus for me, but it's still only like $2,200.

Thanks for any insight / advice.
