On going, every November we give a grocery store gift card to each household one week prior to Thanksgiving. ($10)For our 8-plex apartment community, we established an area where tenants could garden.  

You should also be advised that in Washington State, if we are speaking of a condominium unit, you never want the lease to turn to month to month, then the eviction laws change, making it more difficult to evict a tenant on a month to month lease.

The lady asked if the minimum salary was for an individual or household.

If you charge a higher rent because of the change in the make up of the household, you may find yourself in violation of fair housing laws.

Every household can function without them just fine!

My household tax bracket is the top rate and I qualify for the Obamacare surcharge on rental income.

Someday I may break down and create an Excel spreadsheet for all the little categories and input it all that way, but for now, pencil and paper is faster for me.I do have some Excel spreadsheets set up for household budget, income and expense estimates, etc., but those are just for things that determine how much money goes into each account (one account for monthly expenses, one account for less-frequent expenses, savings account, etc.).Do I win something for being the most old school?

Wow,  some wild ideas in this thread.Forget state law, federal law, you can't discriminate on sources of funds BECAUSE they come from government sources, welfare. food stamps, Sec 8, grants for housing allowances, military housing` allowance, etc.Then you get into allowable rents that may be paid under Sec 8, the household income is computed, with the voucher amount, the can't pay more than 33% of gross income (I believe it's still 33%).The rent that can be charged is not effected, unless you have rental controls from other regulations.

. :)Just an FYI, there are some restriction in Riverside on the number unrelated residents per household.

I've never been a fan of those moral compass type employee questionnaires and we would never use such a questionnaire in our tenant screening.However, we do query our tenants about basic household operations and provide them with an orientation (here is the main cut-off for the electrical; here is how you shutoff the natural gas; here is water shutoff; here is the fire extinguisher & here are the dates upon which you can go down the street to the fire station to learn how to use one .... ).
