NARPM Radio: Social Services Forms: Should You Sign?
Your tenant comes to you with a form saying they can get help from a local social services agency. You sign it, wait, and the money never comes. Many social services agencies provide emergency help for tenants, maybe a structured assistance plan or one-time help. Should you sign that form? What are you agreeing to? Will you get your money? Property management attorney Harry Heist discusses social services forms and what you should do if you are given one. As always, check with your attorney as laws vary from state to state.
