She asked how many <br /> landlords were lost. <br /> Blake Rosser said it is difficult to know why and even when that happens. He said they <br /> want to develop an exit survey to send to landlords when someone moves out. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked what the landlord incentive is. <br /> Blake Rosser said that the landlord incentive that has two programs. He said there is a <br /> signing bonus for Section 8 or rapid rehousing at $1,000 and there is a $500 referral bonus for <br /> referring other landlords to the program. He said there is a risk mitigation program, which <br /> guarantees damages up to $3,000 or$4,000 above the security deposit. <br /> Chair Bedford said that the partnership was looking to see if it would be more efficient to <br /> pay for repairs directly without having the landlord file on their insurance. <br /> Danielle Butler said that landlords are not required to file with insurance when there are <br /> damages. <br />
