I figured I would get some resistance but this is a little more extreme than I’ve encountered before.

These two options are sure to send the tenant running but just be prepared for rebellion, resistance; they may not want to move since I'm sure they know they're underpaying.

@Ryan KomagomePros: Rent stability, downturn resistant, rent paid on time (sec 8 portion at least), incentive for tenant to adhere to lease or they’re kicked out of the program, sometimes you can get more than market rent, providing a nice and safe home to a family who really needs it.
