Yes, I have this program. It's a crap shoot. The clients are homeless and many have abuse issues. If you participate, vet the tenant like the FBI and get the maximum rent, background fee and security deposit.

I belong to AOAUSA, I use their forms. My rental are in southern CA.

If you plan to renew, you can just let the lease lapse into m2m. However since you are new, I would do a new lease for 6-months and then go m2m. Although they pay late you are still getting the HUD portion on time. If you don't renew, you have to notify S8 within the statutory time frame. I have a S8 who has been late several time, but he pays the late fee.

S8 tenants are my meat & potatoes. I prefer S8 tenants rather than market tenants. No one wants to lose their voucher because they didn't pay rent.

Two of my S8 renters have not paid their portion. One tenant is still working, but asked to defer -- HELL NO! Lease will not be renewed.

yes, I'm marketing. I have a vacancy coming up in May.

Buckeye is exploding right now with master planned communities and growth.

I have a small MF.

Don’t waste time when it comes to evicting. Every day you wait is a day of lost rent.

Talk to previous landlord in person (check tax records). I had a bad experience where the PM I previously had installed satan in my unit. Her boyfriend pretended to be the previous landlord.

When I do background, I check Facebook, superior court website & sheriff’s website. I belong to an apartment association and pay for the credit & background check and I match up what I find on my own research. 

I don’t ever accept a previous eviction.
