Reply to comment by Legitimate-Future255 in RV owners caught up in Hartford towing crackdown - Vermont continues to make it harder on poor people to survive. by JerryKook

TBH I don't know a single person who took that money and actually needed it. I am sure there were quite a few but good gosh so many people were just using that as supplemental income. Kinda became a running joke let the state pay your rent. There was zero vetting going on at all.

They outsourced it to some group in CT. We used it for a few months and even after telling them many times to stop they kept sending checks. In our case they went right to the owner but ya I saw how many were just getting paid directly. I'm not faulting anyone for taking the cash though we did and did so according to the guidelines but really it was like a click the box if you had kids home during covid etc it was so open to anyone.

Holy shit. You charge $2,444 a month in rent. And "he", one person, skipped town?If this is real and accurate then that hurts MY brain.

Probably in desperate need because rent is almost $2.5k a month for one person, under you. So.

Was 1450 for a 3br/2ba house and they kicked in every door and cabinet and refused to leave. Punched medicine cabinet, police reports, ripping out wiring, you get the idea. Was over nine months rent plus all the crazy attorney fees that VERAP put into their bank account and they just kept it and finally moved out. At least we have the house back

We rented out our past house here I get what you went through completely. Never again. And they wonder why so many people just go the short term route.

I would only rent short term or charge as high as I could. Too many broke assholes that don't care about the home because it's not theirs. One bad renter can ruin it for everyone else when someone is decent enough to not charge as much as they can.

We do know five families with varying numbers of children who took the VERAP assistance and needed it.
