Hey James, As long as you are complying with the law, and providing a way for recipients to easily and quickly opt out of further communication I think that you're doing your part. 

@Dan Bryskin  Let's not forget that the majority of rental assistance recipients are either elderly, disabled, or WORKING at low income jobs.http://www.cbpp.org/research/most-rental-assistance-recipients-work-are-elderly-or-have-disabilities

In my experience (one mail campaign) most recipients had already been contacted or for another reason wanted above market value.

It is up to the recipient of a message to decide if they feel it is spam or inappropriate.

However, they sent us a 2022 1099k when it should have been sent to the owner's tax ID associated with where the deposits were made.Yardi support admitted that was an issue with their software picking up the property managers tax id instead of the revenue recipient's tax id.

You REALLY went out of your way to try to deceive the recipient.You know it, I know it, the recipient knows it. 

The recipients are paying a dollar/foot in rent, and the house is theirs to keep after 7 years.It's a cool model, and it would be interesting to see someone make a profit off the idea.

The good thing is that the District has setup grants for small business owners to include 1099 recipients and independent contractors, so if you are in the real estate industry and this is your source of income, you can apply for the grant.I would say (only because DC is so tenant friendly), check with your jurisdiction before negotiating the security deposit as rent, you may be able to get a grant for lost rent.Another thing to think about is obtaining a "rent guarantee" insurance plan. 

The key thing is to google the recipient separately.

If Section 8 recipients no longer qualify, after moving in....
