I've replied to the email and have sent out a dispute letter through certified mail.

Hey @Ryan Brown - I personally would avoid any additional fees/charges on the rent as that can be disputed or simply not paid by the tenant. 

No more stress of disputes, unreasonable requests, Karen neighbors, people trashing the place sometimes, etc. 

By doing so, expectations are set and disputes are avoided.The conditions of the security deposit should be specified in your rental agreement.

This entitles you to the income from the property without exposing you to liability.In a dispute regarding the property, the opposing party will only be able to collect against the asset of the Trust, the Trust property, which hopefully has limited equity.

Disputes are left unresolved in most cases they just hope the investor figures it out, and the rehab teams seem to hold all the power, despite being contracted for your business with a $15K onboarding fee. 

Power of attorney is not permitted, but I did have one lender who blessed off on a corporate resolution for a stateside entity member to have signing authority for the business.

If he believes there is a dispute over who the funds go to it's on him to file an interpleader to determine their proper recipient. 

This is not legal advice please consult with you attorney).Consider a step-by-step process increasing the pressure on the tenant with each step while accumulating documentation (which will be needed in Eviction Court):As per the prior comment, first contact the State Agency sponsoring/funding the Section 8 payments and document for them all the issues to see if a resolution can be reached.

I am attempting to avoid a neighbor dispute about an oak tree branch hanging over their property and would like to consult with an attorney to be clear on the local law.
