First I want to say that this blog is great. I don’t feel alone after reading the stories. I rented to a tenant who had FHEPS and after 7 months they stop paying the rent. The reason was because the tenant got her Public Assistance case closed. This made no sense to me because FHEPS required that I give the tenant a lease for a year and then they would pay the rent for the entirety of the lease. I am owed past due rent for 15 months. I was able to get a judgement against the tenant because ironically she moved and found another apartment using a FHEPS voucher. This made no sense to me because FHEPS owed me past due rent. How could FHEPS be paying rent for a new apartment when they owed me rent money? I contacted the City Comptroller and requested payment of the past due rents because the City agreed to pay the rent. Their response was that the City was not the tenant so they don’t owe me anything. This made no sense because the City agreed to pay the rent. No way would I have agreed to rent to a tenant that doesn’t have income if FHEPS didn’t agree to pay the rent. The FHEPS Program is an absolute fraud. No landlord should accept a voucher unless the City is listed on the lease as a tenant. Please post the letters I received from the City because these injustices and the workers behind them need to be exposed.
