Email? is a very important communication source. It is also required so FSP Realty can send documents that can be sent via email (Rent Rebate forms). Also, when recertification is required, the notice will be sent via email. So, if email is required, and an important means of communication, why not offer email to the tenants? The reason is simple, and that is simplicity reasons. Yes, technically, email can be provided. What happens if you forgot your password, or having trouble with your email client. The first thing you would do is call the realty company with the problem. Now, the realty company needs a network engineer in regular employ to handle these issues. This is more work, and less profit. Yes, less profit probably isn’t important to the tenant, but if profitability can not be obtained, it makes no sense to have subsidized housing, and that threatens your residence.
If you or your family needs email services, there are a couple of options you can try. First is a free email service from a company like Gmail. You can also look into acquiring a domain. A neat option I have is a Pilone.name domain. With that said, my particular address is frank@pilone.name. If you can’t acquire a .name address, the try a more common TLD? option. If your last name is common, you might have to get more creative. Once you acquired a domain, and host, then you can set up the email address not only for yourself, but the entire family. You would need to get a domain, and a host for everything to work.
If I was you, I would consider a domain, and if you don’t feel you can do it with the tutorials I provided, you can ask a technically savvy friend to help you out. Just buy a pizza, and something nice for them as a way of saying thank you.
