Your repercussion has already happened.People who sue HUD, sue all of us.Able people who accept sec 8, landlord or tenant, are abusing an otherwise noble social program, if they position themselves to qualify as a financial strategy, rather than qualifying for reasons of bad luck.

They are starting to crack down on this.From Forbes "Abuse of the tax benefits of conservation easements has reached a fever pitch as easement donations are now syndicated at multiples of nine to one and above.

However, it is important to note that the IRS has strict rules and regulations in place to prevent abuse of the depreciation tax benefits.

I do sympathize but nope, not for me.we have a camera at each of our STR's, they are outside on the entry level so we know if our house is getting trespassed and/or if our elevator is getting abused, even that was a toss up for us but it is only that area and i barely can stand having it.

Recently, more states have adopted protections based upon sexual orientation and gender identity, for example.

Sure, it can be abused, done incorrectly, or made to take advantage of the uninformed.  

I don't want to be involved in a tenant's abuse of the service.3.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

In many instances like this one - by the time it gets investigated damage is already done I love these articles not for the fact investors are getting abused.. but the statements about lavish lifestyle  fancy dinners etc etc.. every single white collar litigation or criminal complaint has that exact same language.. and now you know why the Mafia guys just lived in some plain Jane home and maybe drove a caddy and ate at a low end restaurant LOL.  

I like your idea about putting something in your lease to say that tenant is responsible for any maintenance/repairs on GD due to tenant neglect/abuse.
