I left my job in IT years ago in order to restore and renovate the house after it was significantly water damaged from a broken pipe.

Another funny thing is that I didn't realize until I was an adult in the military that some people actually had air conditioning in their homes - I thought that only movie theatres and the mall had AC!

So far, 2 have reassured us on the phone, not in writing that no lump sum will be requested at the end of the term, and that our credit will not be damaged..

HVAC air filter, fridge water filter, etc).  

Regarding ARV, I don't see any noticeable damage but assuming once under contract I will need an inspection done and then a contractor or two to price out for me?

I'm just not going to replace those things in a rental unless they're damaged, and if they're damaged then I'm charging the tenant for it.  

Air conditioners, trees, driveways, it all makes a difference. 

A security deposit is not meant to carry a tenant, it is to mitigate damage.

I suspect the economic damage will be farther down the road.

We provide safe and affordable housing to citizens who can't afford to purchase homes themselves.Second only to to food, shelter is important as a basic need that no American should live without.This is why I am writing to you to ask for help in the implementation of emergency changes to the Federal Housing and Urban Renewal Section 8 program.As a landlord I propose the following:The qualification for Section 8 should be opened to all unemployed American receiving unemployment benefits.All Landlords who file a IRS Schedule E are eligible to receive benefits based on properties listed on their Schedule E for 2018 or for any 2019 tax return filed.Section 8 will waive the home inspection and Landlord requirements for the participants  in this emergency program and will not remove the traditional application process for those seeking to participate in the Section 8 program.
