Most landlords don’t lose money because of bad tenants — they lose money because of bad process. The biggest mistake I see with CityFHEPS is this: 👉 Treating it like a normal market rental. Here’s what actually matters: • Proper screening without violating Fair Housing • Knowing which docs delay approval (and which don’t matter) • Working with the right caseworker, not just any one • Structuring rent + lease terms so payments stay smooth When this is done right, units get filled faster than market rate. Question for the group: What’s your biggest concern with CityFHEPS right now — A) Delays B) Tenant eligibility ending C) Nonpayment D) Screening E) Something else? ⬇️ Comment below — I’ll break it down in the next post.

One of the biggest fears I hear from landlords is: “What if the tenant loses their voucher—am I stuck?” Here’s the truth (no fluff): Losing CityFHEPS eligibility does not mean automatic eviction — but it also does not mean you’re trapped forever. NYC housing court rules still apply, and there are specific timelines, notice requirements, and cure periods that matter a lot. The landlords who get burned usually didn’t fail on the back end — they failed on the front end. Smart landlords protect themselves by: • Using the right lease language • Understanding program rules before move-in • Knowing how nonpayment cases actually work with vouchers • Working with responsive caseworkers Working with knowledgeable realtor like myself** Question for landlords: What’s your biggest concern with voucher tenants? - Nonpayment - Property damage - Court delays - Program confusion Comment below 👇
