That said, I believe most of the potential for fraud and abuse centers around the money, specifically who has access to it and how debits (expenses) are authorized and accounted for.Here's a common example: Let's say your property manager calls you up to say there's a major repair needed on one of your units.

Landlords in Durham, NC, I am contemplating to open a property to Section 8 tenants and was wondering how you rate the Durham Housing Authority to work with.

And you can set it up to either have stickers/permits for authorized vehicles, call-to-tow, or a service where they monitor the lot (if its big enough to warrant this). 

I did some research and found where PG County's Housing Authority will pay up to $2,900 for a 4 bedroom under their voucher program (WOW!).

They author, create, and sell text books in addition to other platforms.

That means calling/meeting with the appropriate governmental authorities and asking whether the property is conforming or non-conforming.
