It takes years to get approved.

I also had to get it approved by the city which was pretty easy. 

I used a Colorado state-approved contract.

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

It can take 2-3 months before payments get approved. 

Also, our team has a lot of experience in working with Sec 8 residents and getting properties approved.

2) Are you pre-approved and have the down payment in your bank account?

I hope tenant willingly leaves because NYCHA actually notified months ago that she was approved for another voucher.

In Texas, as a licensed agent, you’re generally required to use TREC-approved forms for real estate transactions unless an exception applies, like (I believe) leases longer than 1 year or where no TREC form exists.

UPDATE:  Just chatted with the city and learned that variances have a high threshold for approval.
