Conflict with renters often happens when the rent is not paid, or there are behavior issues. Sometimes these problems point towards something larger happening in a person's life.
As a landlord, it is helpful to know of programs in the community where you can refer renters who need help. Sometimes this means the difference between a costly eviction and having a long-term tenant.
One of these programs is called the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program (FHPAP).
It provides short-term assistance to people who are at risk of becoming homeless. The assistance generally takes the form of payments to cover rent or utility costs to prevent an eviction.
