Eviction

[Shanell Williamson]

im new to the section 8 program. I was already staying in my house when I received a voucher. My landlord has been communicating with my case worker about the program signed the lease and they did inspection.  Its been 2 months that we've been waiting. Now that he said the process is taking too long he wants to evict me and change his mind about taking section 8. Can he do this??? It is not my fault. My case worker said they was going to pay him for the time he has waited after inspection. Please help me

Or take Robert Kiyosaki's advice and figure out a way to afford that place to live while you're waiting on the government (tax payers) to cover that rent.

I know we are all in different places and I'm not knocking you and where you are. I have been poor my whole life. I'm just saying that the Landlord isn't in the business of giving people a place to live for free. He only got into Section 8 because, once the bureaucracy is out of the way, it's a guaranteed check (guaranteed cash flow, equity, leverage, etc.). I'm sure a small part of him feels good about helping people but I can promise you that's not the reason he got into that niche.

If you have been involved with this site at all, you'd know that it's a business networking site that focuses on Real Estate Investors, so if you're looking for a shoulder or someone to tell you how to get one over on your landlord, you're in the wrong place.

If you want legal advice you might want to call your local section 8 rep office and talk to them because I doubt you'll get much advice on here other than what you've seen so far.

I feel for you, I'm sorry you even need to depend on this program. If you want advice on how to find a better job (I grew up poor and moved from minimum wage to middle class in a few years - so I can write a resume) and improve your situation, holler at your boy. Other than that, make things happen and good luck.
