[[[[[.........When you see landlords that will not accept sec 8, most times its because it won't pass and they don't want to fix it up. ....]]]]]Please site your source for that statistic.I don't take Section 8 because I don't do leases, and Section 8 doesn't accept month to month agreements.Not to mention, I have yet to meet any Section 8 tenant who can meet my written rental criteria.The landlords I know who don't take Section 8 have nice places and they don't take Section 8 because the welfare tenants will trash a place and they are difficult and demanding to deal with.My places are in tip top condition and I respond to any repair call in less than 24 hours.Although, I have to confess, one of my houses can't pass Section 8 inspection because there is a centuries old tree too close to the house, and I refuse to cut it down.Another house wouldn't pass because the railings on the giant deck aren't close enough together and Section 8 doesn't want their little rug rats to fall almost 2 feet to the ground and maybe get hurt.

I know the ACV policy is limited to the amount of the policy, which might not be enough to build a whole new house in the case of a complete loss, but it would cover, for example, a tree coming down on the roof in a storm, being that the roof replacement would be a lot less than the total policy amount.Also, what about Modified Replacement Value?

I ended up with eviction attorney fees, process server fees--the only way they left was that they did not pay their water and electric and the utiity companies had shut them off--they left in the middle of the night and I got a house with smashed in doors, carpeting that had to be removed, holes in walls, a back yard that had all the trees cut down, and a garage full of junk that had to be hauled.

What visitors want is to see some of the exhibits (it's too overwhelmingly big to see everything) and to have some tea and cake with friends.
