1. Caregiver requests - often the caregiver has a child and it is a 55 and older community.  Residents do not want children in the community etc.  We will be having an Elder Abuse seminar before your seminar - so you may be getting questions raised in that seminar.   Occupancy issues - 6 people apply - and qualify - but it is a single wide or double wide with just two bedrooms Asstance animals - this never seems to go away!   Accessibility issues to buildings - whose responsibility for access to home and club house. Non resident citizen  applications - requiring social security number - not wanting to rent to illegal residents. Allowing pit bulls into the community - other dogs breeds with "history" of aggression.  Insurance companies say certain breeds are forbidden or insurance is cancelled.  What does the manager do? Pot Pot Pot - This will be addressed by Jeffry Bennett at the beginning of the conference.  I am sure there will be more questions.  Can residents grow pot in the front yard and say it is "fair housing"
