The step rail isn't moving anywhere now.Make sure if you add a grab bar next to the washer dryer it is not in a location where a child or an adult could bang their head against it.Also make sure it hits the stud and you don't use cheap wood or drywall screws where the head will break off from the weight.Yes being heavy is not the fault of the landlord however dealing with the issue upfront is better than a bigger problem later.

He already has the additional three roommates, since they are sharing a location currently and will have some input into what is purchased.I think a lot would also depend on how capable the child was in maintaining order, cleanliness, and ability to collect rent.

That is, it may not discriminate against families in which one or more children under 18 live with:A parentA person who has legal custody of the child or children orThe designee of the parent or legal custodian, with the parent or custodian's written permission.Familial status protection also applies to pregnant women and anyone securing legal custody of a child under 18.http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?

An example (of many potential scenarios) would be they start talking about family, you are able to deduce that there is a huge child support burden that could effect their ability to pay rent.

Unfortunately I think you will find that section 8 cares more about their tenants than the landlords.I have gone the route before of section 8 violations and the case workers do nothing.You simply have to evict the section 8 tenants.Mine not in compliance went voluntarily.It was a case of one great tenant next door had a small child care facility of watching 4 to 5 kids.The section 8 next door that were inherited tenants I received upon inspection had a pit bull and a rottweiler.They were told that was a violation of their lease.We evicted and they said they had gotten rid of the animal only to find they were hiding it and was back again.The parents dropping off the kids were scared of the pit bull for the day care next door.This tenant also had a portion of utilities they were responsible for after the voucher paid.They went round and round not understanding why they paid the difference etc.I can tell you when you look at section 8 it is great as long as you pay attention to the voucher.If you want to rent for 800 and the voucher is for 500 then don't do it.They simply will not make up the difference.If it's only 50 bucks they have to come up with then they can usually pull it off.Section 8 inspectors are real picky on all the things they want fixed before you pass inspection.If a tenant wears down a property heavily each year and you have to put a ton of money in to pass inspection each time that is a consideration.Don't be quick to evict the other regular tenant.You have to treat them like a person with a mortgage falling on hard times.

Perhaps I played too much Sim City as a child, but just thinking about my wealth growing over time excites me!

You would not believe the run of people I've had--three felons in a row in the last day--the latest was for child abuse(!).

Previous to that I was part of the rollover craze in the late 1990s and worked for the self-proclaimed king of retirement and estate planning.
