Unlike hiring a PM, the lessee has total control over the property, including finding tenants, renting it out, all maintenance, tax payments so the tired landlord is free of these worries.

Taxpayers within these zones are automatically granted this relief without needing to apply, offering some respite as they focus on rebuilding their lives.

The system is what's really broken:1) S8 should have a time limit - get free housing to get your life in order and move on.2) S8 should have strong requirements for taking care of the home taxpayers are paying the rent for. --- We haven't seen a S8 inspection report in over a decade that required a tenant to fix damages they obviously caused.

The sad part of this story is if any other taxpayer failed to update their address and a lien was sold, nobody would pay any attention to reversing that sale.

On the City of SF's website it says property taxes (including assessments) are $4,011. http://sftreasurer.org/property-tax-payments

You as a tax payer are not footing any bill on the depreciation.

It is a lot of money, but taxpayers also pay a lot in taxes and there should be some money for these types of things. 

There is no reason for the tax payers to financially support it when about 99% of them wish the mailers were not coming in the mail.I know the information comes from the CAD.

Tax payer money at work, good to know all the crime has been taken care of so they can now focus on direct mail campaigns that follow the law.
