Removing a section 8 tenant with out cause or with cause

[Becky Wong Kaplan]

I have a long term section 8 tenant in a SFH in California. Tenant has been month to month. I was told by the PM you can give the tenant 90 days to vacate without cause. I just want the tenant to leave and take all thier belongings.

The reality is that the property has not been cared for (debris, vegetation in/around house), unauthorized dog, leading to the house to no be insurable. 

Must we give them opportunity to fix the problems, if they do not comply, then serve the 90 days to  evict?   The old PM was not issuing any letters to the tenant and only verbally telling them to clean up. We have since gotten a new PM and she says that if you give tenants time to fix things, and often they do and then revert back to their old ways, it could delay the process.

I realize that once we give them 90 days, the housing authority is notified, then after 90 days if the tenant does not leave and they may put their voucher at risk.

Does section tenants fall under TPA (Tenant Protection Act?)
