Section 8 Abatement

[Robert M.]

Housing Authority put property on Abatement December 2015 due to failed inspection (Carpet Pulling up) but kept paying the Section 8 Voucher to my property manager.  I was not aware of abatement and PM pays me the voucher rent for December and January.  

Now Property Manager says that they have just withdrawn funds from his account and I need to reimburse him the rents that were paid.  Is this even possible for Housing Authority to withdraw funds?  Should I be responsible for paying back?  Tenant still in property.  

More information...I have decided to remove this tenant because they are consistently late on their portion of rent.  The contract with Housing Authority is terminated and I am waiting until they move out to make repairs.

Sounds like your Property Manager dropped the ball.  When the PM was informed about the carpet situation, it should have been repaired immediately.
