Are Section 8 tenants are MUCH harder to evict compared to normal tenants?
If so, why?
Most Popular Reply

I've recently started an eviction on a S8 tenant of mine in Detroit.
The process will be identical to a normal, cash paying tenant with one big exception.
The housing authority will continue to pay the voucher amount during the eviction process.
That's a big win for me because, generally, when you're evicting, the tenant stopped paying rent. So I'm happy I continue to collect rent for the 3-4 months that it will take me to evict.
Obviously, I'd be much happier if the tenant wasn't trashing the house and I didn't have to kick her and her 5 kids out.
But it's been a lucrative 5 years. Ask me how lucrative it will be after this turnover though lol
