Sect 8 tenant and BF
Has anyone had experience of a section 8 tenant whose boyfriend is beginning to stay a bit longer than usual to the point that I have seen his car parked in the driveway for more than a week. I had talked to the female tenant about this and she said he only stay a few days. She will renew her contract within 2 months and I am considering a few options"
1. just sign him in in the renewal contract as a tenant-increase rent by $200 w/ $200 deposit.
2. Inform Section 8 I will not renew my current contract with female tenant and need a new section 8 tenant replacement.
3. Just renew female tenant contract and write in contract that boyfriends cannot stay 2 days or more or she will be charged $50 per day.
Regarding HOA, I had tenant share/pay half of the monthly HOA fees the last 2 years and I was just informed by Section 8 it cannot be done. I was going to inform Section 8 that I do this because my rental is about $100-$150 lower that other rent comps. Or should I just raise rent next 2 months(yearly renewal) to compensate for the $35/month HOA?
Thanks for your suggestions!
