I'd be letting my tenant know that their goverment is failing them.Actually, the HAP contract does say that we can charge the HA a late fee after the first two months of occupancy if reasonable and otherwise accounted for in the lease.

They also do listings, track leases, house documents, and can run reporting on your financials. 

It takes longer to lease in-person-and it's expensive.  

are they on leases or month to month? 

@Mayit Balit I’m also looking for a lease option to purchase agreement in Texas.

The way to qualify is we use the rental leases and divide that by the proposed mortgage payment to calculate the rental ratio.

If your place is uninhabitable, tenants can end the lease or withhold rent until it’s livable, but I like to keep things friendly by offering a temporary rent reduction or helping them find a short-term solution.

So for the upfront costs (e.g. Option Fee, Security Deposit, etc) can you do it with no money out of pocket? Is it advisable to do it with no money out of pocket? If it is what is the workflow to find the funding?

@DeBret McGee IIYour best bet is to secure a deal with creative financing, seller financing or meter lease options.

So, if you choose, you could bend your lease to accommodate 2 more kids without having to worry about occupancy issues.
