Section 8 Tenant.
Property ready for her to move in with inspection approved.
Tenant hasn鈥檛 switched utilities yet and does not have the money 馃挻 to pay the deposit yet.
We haven鈥檛 signed lease yet, I always do at the same time of handing keys and tenant paying deposit and their portion of first month.
Also I am dealing with the daughter. The place is for her mom who is around 80 and is a sweetheart. The daughter is really rude ( to her and today to me as well ) shhe deals with me because she handles her mom鈥檚 money. Today she told me if I didn鈥檛 let her mom move all the same she would look for another place 馃槼馃槼馃槼馃槼

@Derek Hamilton I know but it was the daughter the one who was going to pay me every month. Still the dauggter could not come up with the deposit so I could not rent to her mom.

No deposit no apartment it鈥檚 still business and she probably spent the mother鈥檚 money I feel bad for the mother because she鈥檚 probably gonna have to live in a bad neighborhood because of her daughter

@Marisa Alvarez - Virginia allows landlords to take a reservation fee to hold a property if the tenant cannot sign the lease when accepted. We tell our SEC 8 tenants that until the deposit amount is received as a reservation fee, we continue to market the property and if someone can move in faster, they lose it. If they sign a lease, the reservation fee converts to a deposit. If you move a SEC 8 tenant in without the deposit paid, I promise you it will take years to get it paid. Just...Don鈥檛...Do it!
