Section8 tenant- kicking out strategy

[Mak K.]

I have a difficult tenant with section8 houston housing. She thinks it’s ok to stay for free and she deserves free housing, non paying her dues or any thing just because she does not have a job (on purpose) and does not have money ( has all money for fancy furniture and gadgets)

But anyways she has not paid her move in deposit ( paid partial) and has not carried renters insurance. She did not pay her first month due before housing kicked in.

we will be sending her non renewal of lease and good chance she will not move and she plays I do not have money to move out (coz her sibling stays nearby). hence we foresee eviction down the line.

what would be a good solid reason to do paperwork for eviction notice. In past judge always side with tenants on section8 no matter what.

So plan is

- non renewal notice 60 days

- send eviction 30 days notice at same time so we can file eviction if she does not move out on 60th day

- put renters insurance violation as reason rather than non payment of deposit as judges can always show sympathy for monetary issues?

- if we use rent payment as issues, in past judge  stated if we accept the money from housing, eviction notice is null and void? And we have to start process again. 

Please help me if anybody has experience with section8. It’s really difficult as lease rules like 3 day eviction do not apply to section8. This is abuse of tax payers to be honest.

Call her case worker and tell them that she is not paying her part of the rent and she has not paid the first month's rent before section 8 kicked in.  Let them know despite repeated attempts to collect the money, it is not forthcoming and that you will be starting the eviction process for non-payment of rent...then hire an attorney who specializes in evictions and get the process started.
