I am writing to support the passage of HB955 by the General Assembly. Everyone is so desperate for shelter that leases are signed without property managers or landlords explaining the details of the lease.
In my 8 years of administering homeless prevention funds, there have been so many times I have had to explain the details of a lease agreement. Sometimes those provisions are so vague as to defy explanation. A summary page of the most pertinent terms would be beneficial to both parties.
I have seen leases that do not meet even the most basic requirements of VLTRA and yet people sign these in the midst of desperation.
This is important legislation and I hope it passes thru the General Assembly this session.
