I hope your kids continue to do well.

Yes, we do have 30 days to install light bulbs. I could have easily put them in while he was here, but that wasn't allowed.  The cost to have new paperwork and a new inspection seems a waste of the city's funds, wouldn't you agree?   (It's an automatic re-inspection, you get the paperwork before they leave)

I lived in a terrible neighborhood before this home with a huge majority of Section 8 tenants. Terrible people and a blind-eyed landlord, absolutely content with running down the neighborhood...why? I don't know or understand it myself.

Crime runs rampant in the program, I wish they'd drug test and do criminal background checks. 

There are no time limits on Section 8, they don't promote people getting off the program. They do however boast big headlines to flare up the community, making promises to people who want the program gone. 

When people are removed from the program, they just hop all over the city destroying more homes and communities, they don't leave Middletown.

As far as the schools go, I was lucky to get my son into Central Academy this year and he does much better. As far as the high school, my daughter is in  advanced classes, so I do try to give them the best opportunity. But the stats on the schooling speaks volumes.

Sorry it took so long to reply.

Replace the lightbulbs and request another inspection.

Open enrollment in most schools begin in April.  Check it out.

I moved into a very acceptable home, and it is still in the same condition after 2 years. I pay 70% of my rent, and Middletown Housing comes in with the 30% balance. 

My house is clean, we are drug free, my lawn is maintained, and I have an excellent, law abiding landlord. 

Should my children and I be put out for light bulbs?  

Why should we be punished, for so many others who fail to abide by a program that is essential for my children to have a roof over their heads?

We've never bothered a soul, and I consider my family a benefit to Middletown.  

We  already tolerate a below average offering of education, which I believe contributes to a poor quality of life. No brains, no job, no home, sign up for Section 8.  It's all connected.  

I see why there is a frustration with bad tenants and bad landlords. I can't stand them either, look what they are doing to the rest of us. Unfortunately, we all seem to be placed in the same group. 

If it is the sidewalk, driveway cut, or gutters, the landowner is required to repair these items. 

The place I lived in prior to living in Ohio, this was the city's responsiblity.
