Mary thank you for the info. I called the numbers you provided and all
led to one source MFY. MFY requires that you earn under $7000.00 a year
they will accept you as a client. The trouble is almost all the tenants
being taken to court earn above the limit. We still need some other source.
Any suggestions??
