The first website here provides you with some good general links. The second website that I have listed here links you to the actual statutes in the State of Nevada. I only skimmed through the statutes, but I did not see anything there that said that the landlord has "x" amount of days to repair things, etc. Double check your lease agreement, it may be stated in there. If not, double check with your local housing commission.

If you live in at least a mid sized city, the Housing Authority will have a list on their website of rentals posted by landlords that  are willing to accept Section 8 vouchers.  For instance, the name in Austin is, AHA, or Austin Housing Authority; Dallas is DHA, or Dallas Housing Authority.  This will be the most complete list.  Newspapers also often in the rental ads will state "SEc. 8 OK".

You need to go back and look at your original lease. Also, if you are on HUD have you renewed your lease annually? Why the new deposit? Where is the last deposit? Your contract is rock solid, read it over and seek legal aid advice, most larger cities have a free legal aid

The most effective way to get these listings is to contact your local mortgage broker.  He, in turn, will contact his lenders or title insurance rep. to get him those lists.  In my area, there aren't many HUD repos as prices have exceeded their lending amounts.  Here is a site that lists some:  http://www.hudpemco.com/

It depends on Indiana state law.\n\nIn Texas, a landlord can give notice for any reason other than discrimination based on a protected class. \n\nBy the way, being disabled makes them part of a protected class.  If there is any way to prove that they are being discriminated against based on their disabilities, you could go to court over it federally.\n\nIf I were you I would check out the local tenant's council if there is one or contact the Indiana version of TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission).  The governmental entities presiding over that type of law are generally helpful pointing you to the relevant laws for your situation.

you can google for tax reposessions, it will sort them according to state. There are usually onle a few auctions per year, while they are open to the public they are not highly advertised. A lot of websites will charge you money to the information, as long as you have a credible site you should be safe. \n\nalso, a good real estate agent and help you find listsings to HUD houses. those are forclosures.

There is probably a local landlord's association you can join that will offer access to the ability to pull credit reports.  I know that here in Central Texas, they also have a bureau that lists evictions and lease skips.  (evictions are public record and should show up on a court record and credit report but a lease skip might not).\n\nThere are also companies you can pay to do the background checks.  It is fair and common for you to pass the cost of that check onto the prospective clients.\n\nIncome verification is pretty important.  And yes, your belief that rent shouldn't exceed a percentage of their net take home pay (usually about a third of take home or a quarter of gross) is a good idea.  You can ask to see bank statements and/or pay stubs.  Self-employed applicants can show tax returns or bank statements.\n\nOne other trick I used, that I got from one of my landlords when I was a tenant.   He asked for permission to come see where I was currently living (we had dogs).   We said "sure."   I didn't expect him to pop in by surprise and was embarrased and worried because there were dishes in the sink, but.....\n\nHe said all he was looking for were issues that would upset a landlord and that routine mess was not his problem.  He looked to see the house was in good shape and not being abused, and that the dogs had not destroyed the backyard.\n\nI thought this was an awesome deal and used it on my own properties.   \n\nSome people can appear really nice and clean but are brutal on their residences and some problems are very expensive to fix.\n\nCheck out their current home and that will be an eye opener.\n\nSomeone with really bad credit may be a bigger risk but keep in mind that if someone has a family, it is possible that the ONLY bill getting paid is the rent.   You can check with their current landlord in 2 ways -\n\n1. Ask to see the cancelled checks for the past 6 months.\n2. Look up the property owner (all public records accessible for free) and contact them to see how the rent was paid.\n\nIt is easy for a tenant to have a friend pretend to be a landlord so one of the above is more reliable.\n\nAnd a tenant who is having a rough time, but passes the "paid rent regularly" and "isn't living like a pig" tests may be forever grateful to a landlord that cut them a break if their credit otherwise sucks.   That person may well be a good long term tenant.

doesn't your wife get some coverage under disabilty?  CHeck with your local gov. assistance.  What about her old job.  THey should have information on disability like social security.\n\nalso, you should try to consolidate your bills, and if you haven't *but im sure you have* list all of your expenses and see what can be eliminated and where you can spend less...electric *use less, by turning off unused things*, heating *lowering thermostat*, I know its a pain, but maybe even consider a credit counselor, if you cannot consolidate your debt without help.  Good luck.

Brian, \n\nMy apologies up front for not answering *your* question, I just felt the need to thank you so very much for your help and input on my rent/eviction/decision. I tried to find the same information you did (although I must say you do seem extremely knowledgeable) and came up empty handed. I so greatly appreciate your help. You have sincerely raised my faith in my fellow man almost back to where it was many moons and a wife ago. I hope great(-er) things come your way and I honestly am so thankful for your help.\nWith great respect,\nRobert

There are several good screening companies out there. I currently use Merchants Information Solutions. Depending upon what you run on your prospective residents depends upon the cost. My suggestion would be to run an eviction report and a criminal background check in addition to a credit report. You DO NOT give a copy of the credit to your resident. If they are denied, you must provide them with a letter stating that they can receive a free copy of their report if they contact the reporting agency that you ran it with.

Yeah, depending on your level of disability.  You should have the (your state's name here) Department of Rehabilitation in your phone book.  Are you in Alabama?  If so, I know a guy (I used to work for him) that is legally blind.  He went through the blind vendors program and has two rest areas on I-65 that he keeps up (vending).  I can contact him and he can give me some names for ya, if you'd like.  E-mail me: alabama.mississippi@yahoo.com
