What would you do if your section 8 tenant broke windows?
I have 1 section 8 tenant that I inherited when purchasing my 4-unit property back in August. She is a lousy 25-year old girl who has her boyfriend over almost every single day. Last week, they got into an argument and they smashed 2 windows in the kitchen and 1 window in the living room. I had 2 other tenant in the complex call and complain that the couple was fighting.
When I called the section-8 tenant to find out what was happening, she made up an entire story about how someone broke in to her place and took all her belongings and smashed the windows. I am astonished at how nonchalantly she was lying.
I can evict her but then I lose money until she moves out and I would need to re-renovate the apartment completely including the windows. I know section-8 will not help.
