Evict Someone who in Prison

[Ray Jimenez]

Hello BiggerPockets,

I need some advice on a current situation that I am currently handling out in NJ. I currently have a section 8 tenant who's currently incarcerated for legal issues that I won't get into at this moment. I recently received a letter from section 8 stating that they will no longer be paying there portion due to the tenant incarceration. My question is it easier to go through the eviction process or pay the tenant sibling so they can leave my property?
