Section 8 Eviction.

[Anil Villamkandathil]

I have a section tenants who has really been a pain in my A**, can somebody advice me with my current situation.

My Section 8 tenant was kicked out of the program for fraud charges during the month of May . So I was cut out of my rent for the month May and June as 100% was paid by section 8. 

Her lease was anyways ending during month of may, so I asked her to move out, As per the lease, I had the right over the property after the lease term and it does not auto convert to month to month. 

Finally when it was May 31st, she said she will not move out and asked me to file eviction. So I filed the eviction.

During the eviction, she brought up that she had hearing with section 8 the next day and so the judge asked us postpone the hearing to next week.

Today I get a service request from her about her AC not working. How do I handle this situation.  And another question how do I evict a section 8 tenant.

Please advice.

Thanks

Anil

Thank you every one the valuable information. You guys rock. 

Here are the events that happened in regards to this eviction and repair.

I talked to my lawyer and he advised me to repair the AC. So I had the AC fixed.

I had the hearing today and we settled the eviction as follows

• Tenant settled with the Section 8 about the fraud case and hence section 8 would pay me in retrospect.
• Tenant would be moving out at the end of the month.
• I have sent emails to the section 8. I hoping to hear back tomorrow.

I will try to write a blog on the whole experience of purchasing this property and inheriting the section 8 and current challenges I am going through.

Thank you again.
