Problematic Tenant Wouldn't Leave After lease is over - Section 8
Hello
One of my tenant (Section 8) in MF has been lived 3yrs now and she complains a lot when there is some minor issue. (As a landlord, I always do best to fix any issue.. other tenant live without any complain and she is the only one...she say she will report health department etc..)
Sametime, She keep saying she want to move to another apartment (1fl for her mother as her mother has some disability ) she wouldn't leave.
I didn't like turnover and it is section 8, I was going to let her stay til she find the new home. But I am getting tiread and decided to terminate month to month lease. I notified the lease termination , giving 60 days notice. I have feeling that she wouldn't leave the home soon. Same time, I can let her stay til the family find new home but afraid if she keep complain after lease is terminated.
As I have another project, I am ok if they live quietly but what will be the choice if the lease is over and tenant still live there?
I know I can initiate eviction but I am ok if tenant live without complaining til they find new home. Hypotetically, What if the tenant complain after lease is over, If we need to go to court (don't think there will be case), will it be better for me as lease is over?
Thanks

Quote from @Kevin Kim:
Contact the housing office and let them know you want her out. If she violates your notice and refuses to leave, I believe she will lose her voucher and her ability to afford another rental.
