We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

My accountant said we can do a share screen if I like so I'll take him up on that to find out why 8 hours of bookkeeping cleanup is necessary and not included in his tax return filing price because I already have them reconciled correctly up to date and thought I can just hand off for tax return prep.
