- Initial paperwork and chasing overworked caseworkers to process it, so tenant can move in- Helping the tenant complete & turn in their required paperwork to start the lease- Annual S8 inspections, which tenants often make difficult to schedule- Dealing with silly maintenance requests because tenant too lazy to change lightbulbs, etc.- Getting tenants to agree to rent increases and turning in all the required paperwork to caseworker, then, you guessed it, chasing them to process it- Dealing with the tenant's "entitlement attitude" that they don't have to follow the terms of the lease, so they move in other individuals and/or get pets without permission.So, a good PMC will charge something more to manage a S8 tenant/property - either a higher percentage or a one-time or annual fee.
