When you file, you must answer the questions from the point of view of your worst day. A witness has to submit a questionnaire as well.

@A MyMSTeam Member Yes there is government housing here. Trust me, you don't want to live there. This might turn out to be a good thing. Both my kids are in college in Florida & at my oldest sons apartment he has 3 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, living room dining room combo, kitchen & he has a washer & dryer in his unit. Yes he shares it with 2 other students but if you add up all the rents it's only $950 a month.
