Quote from @Erika Peketi: My process is to serve them with an unauthorized animal violation, fine them $200, and require them to remove the animal within 72 hours and pass an inspection.

What's your process like?

If you approve the rent they offer they will move forward with the process.

We're in the process performing a full renovation on a two-story home built in 1926 located in Fort Worth, Texas, with the intention of flipping it.

For people newer to the rehab process I always suggest getting written bids from the contractors you are going to use for each step in the process.

I will certainly hire a real estate lawyer to draw up the contract but I was hoping to get some advice from the knowledgeable folks in the forum.

That's because you are operating on luck instead of solid processes.

I have complete confidence in their ability to pay their share of rent but my concern is with the City's portion as I have heard first-hand accounts and bad cases where the City has delayed payments, delayed processing of renewal for voucher holder (and thus payments) and lack of communication.Are there folks here who have had a good experience with CityFHEPS and the City's ability to pay on time? 

-If you did, you will find that when things go wrong, it costs you a LOT more than hiring a PMC would have cost you.

Or looking to hire a basic book keeper.
