It's a legit defence for the tenant to say you are in hardship because of your financial habits not their late payment and you are now inviting the court to scrutinize how you conduct your financial affairs.Personally not only would I not be going there, but I wouldn't ever try to enforce the late fee clauses I have in my leases. 

Those gangs of Mexican daycare police will surely find this woman babysitting for neighbors, and will rat her out to the authorities, inviting the city inspectors into their "hood."

The home is in the Branson, MO area - meth capital - leaving it empty would either be an invitation to meth manufacturing, or someone squatting and/or stripping the place.  

there are more than one section 8 program, the one most will run into is the hcv one, that is used by housing authorities and the va, it sets a % that the tenant can afford base on income , roughly 30% to 3.5 income , sometimes more or less, the authority pays the difference, so the tenant will qualify based on your income standards, the program states you dont have to take it,as well as you dont have to take a person of color or nationality, but you cant turn down because of that, and that is what they are getting to, you cant use it as a sole reason to deny, in many states and localities they go further to define that, there are many testers out there, be warned, and a lawsuit will be against government, they even recoup their legal fees, so putting it out there or any questionable wording is inviting scrutiny, might as well be saying no children, you may get by one time or two but guideline is advertise the property, not the tenant you want in it or dont want, more and more states are making it law, and I wouldnt want to be their test case, HUD does view it as discrimination, if they have sec 8 because a disablity, but you cant ask that, best way to fight a lawsuit is if you do have a "good" sec 8 tenant just dont make it a qualify factor, the housing for returning veterans is hcv section 8, do you want to be the landlord that turned away war hero?

Michael - Thank you so much for the invitation to the BP meet in Cary.  

Wow...such a nice invitation...I won't be able to make it this evening but would certainly make every attempt to get to future meet ups!

I understand for you to get that call and be invited to the house, means they are more likely motivated then not.

Like Inviting Ivory(SW 6372) or Jersey Cream (SW 6379).

The first estimator pointed out that it's obvious the reason the old unit isn't working, the refrigerant lines have been pulled off the unit (and sadly all the old (Freon) refrigerant has escaped, polluted the atmosphere).  

Showing: If the prospective tenants pass that stage, we invite them to see the property, at which time we observe and find out more about the prospective tenant.
