Landlords, did your tenant ask about the Small Accessible Repairs for Seniors program?

The City of Chicago offers a Small Accessible Repairs for Seniors (SARFS) program. This program provides safety, security and accessibility improvements that help senior citizens to remain in their homes. Repair types are limited to minor repairs that may include, but are not limited to:

Grab bars
Lever faucets
Door repairs
Carbon monoxide detectors
Smoke detectors
Wheelchair ramps

SARFS is for Chicago seniors who earn no more than 80 percent of the area's medium income and are at least 60 years of age. Qualified recipients may be owners or renters residing in a one to four unit building (a renter must have permission from the landlord and the landlord needs to certify that he or she will not increase the rent as a direct result of SARFS improvements).

More information about this program can be found on the City of Chicago website.  And, at www.bradfordmillerlaw.com you can find information about our firm and valuable information for landlords. Bradford Miller Law, P.C. can help you with any landlord issues you may have.
