Next time your case manager tries to bluff you into thinking you signed a consent to have them do a monthly home visit, ask to see that consent form. Then ask them if they're familiar with the old house rules form, which is the only other form most of use signed aside from our leases. Go read your lease CAREFULLY, by the way - it's a standard rent stabilized lease and says absolutely NOTHING about home visits or any other social services they're trying to coerce tenants into agreeing to. This is a verbatim transcript of the text of the house rules as of April, 2008. The formatting is slightly different. Kenmore Hall House Rules and Regulations Revised 8/26/02 VISITORS 1.
