Hopefully they can assist as you suggested Steve....or at least put me in touch with someone at Mosaic who has a higher level of authority to get this resolved. 

The market-rate housing is made affordable by having a landlord that accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (aka Section 8) and charges a market rent that is below the payment standard.Public housing authorities (PHAs) typically set the payment standards based on HUD's fair market rents (FMRs) at the county level of geography.

The prior seller would have to cooperate, sign borrower authorization forms to allow you to show that the underlying note is not in default and or has paid on time for 12 + months. 

I think he didn't want to go deep into any detail and just wants to talk top level and act like an authority.

So incurring the fewest expenses is the cheapest exit plan.There is no tax advantage to refinancing the property first - in fact, the refi will often force the taxing authority to reassess the value of the property - which would likely remove any tax grandfathering you may have - raising your taxes.There is no advantage to doing a two step process like you mention.Randy

@Jonathan GreeneSee #3 of the initial post 🤣🤣🤣That was an easy theory for the original author of this post to prove

I had not signed any agreement authorizing management services for the property. 

Fortunately, the condo has two showers. a plumber will out tomorrow, but I don’t understand how they find the source of the leak, if I can’t authorize for them to cut the dry wall on a condo that’s not mine. shouldn the owner downstairs call a plumber? 

READ THIS ARTICLEThe tenant is authorizing you to run a credit/criminal for the purpose of renting.

Do tenants ever complain to the authorities?
