QI was reading through the item in your April 2009 issue, “Top 10 Audit Findings in 2008” (p. 1). I noticed that #10 on the list was “Rejection letter lacks new reasonable accommodation language.” Where can I find this new language?
QA resident of my site recently passed away. I believe the late resident's son will try to continue to stay in the unit, but we do not want him to. How do we request that he move out? How are these situations typically handled?

She also doesn't want to breathe the chemicals the exterminator would use. What should I do?
QI know a mutual fund is an asset, but should I treat it the way I treat a current savings account or the way I treat a checking account, using a six-month average balance?
