Our PM mentioned that the guy has an drug offense from a few years back.

Tough for a person to qualify for Sec 8 with a criminal record, depends, but drug convictions are an automatic rejection, It is possible that an applicant may have some minor offense, but if your qualifying standard for everyone is no convictions, you are not forced to accept that applicant just because they receive Sec. 8.

No offense intended to your friend.

It is supposed to be automatic, and you will see immigrants plea to a lessor offense to prevent the deportation.

. $10,000 if they believe this is your first offense, $25,000 if your second, $50,000 if more then two offenses.

You didn't ignore his concern (All this is assuming you aren't lying to us about the real facts of the case which is not unheard of so no offense to you I hope).  

When tenants contact us, we ask them to call us when the offense is happening so we can pop over to photograph and witness it.  

By the way, I hope that anyone who has already posted does not find offense in my response.

Bouncing a check is a criminal offense .  

Read Pauls next to last Paragraph Passing bad checks is a criminal offense , bankrupcy does not erase crimes , only debts .
