[Donnell Durden]

Hey Bp My sister is the over of a 2 family. And just went through a bit of a nightmare. I need you guys to help me go back with the words of info and encouragement. 1. Upstairs downstairs 2 bedrooms each 2. Failed section 8 inspection 3. Fixed gutter and whatever else 4. Passed inspection 5. 2 tenants waiting (2 walk throughout each) 6. Leases signed Friday 7. Sunday - downstairs tenant complains about prior discussed on street parking. Driveway reserved for other unit 8. Sunday - downstairs tenants complains about stove being dirty 9. Sunday - upstairs tenants find mouse droppings under the stove (handyman handles it) 10. Downstairs tenant tells section 8 worker they want out. He tells them they are at the mercy of the 2 day old lease 11. Monday- Downstairs tenant claims to fall 12. Monday - emergency inspection (3rd in total) 13. Fails inspection (the same one that was just passed days earlier) 14. Section 8 deems the apartment unfit and tenants must go So now she loses this income. What are her options? Does she have to return the deposits? I need some good new to bring back to my sister. Thanks Guys.

IMO, yes as it's a no fault condition for the LL & the tenant.
