Just work with the case worker of the tenant call section 8 and find out who the case worker is for the tenant is , get their email and phone number , they will help resolve the issue , know that some of the section 8 programs are pretty tough on tenants they may end up loosing the voucher if they don't comply with certain rules.

They can usually give you a basic idea over the phone of very rough cost and the steps they do.

When prescreening tennants a general rule of requirements is as follows: Income must be three times the monthly rent or greaterNo prior evictions or feloniesGood references from previous landlords600+ credit scoreHow do you confirm their income over the phone?

There's no test, no interview other than five minutes over the phone, no references -- any warm body will do.

Is your phone number published out there?

@Andre P.The reply to name does not work properly on a phone for me, need laptop.I hear what you're saying via your response to me, but what you need to understand and hear is that you're focused on the wrong things. 

I canceled my outgoing rent check to my landlord (the neighbor's father) and spoke with the landlord on the phone. 

Put her on the phone with my CPA, who yelled at her, "what are you doing there, you know I care of it".

You make a phone call, they come out and measure, provide a written quote.

You can certainly do this over the phone, but it's really about your risk tolerance.
