Evicting a Section 8 Tenant

[Vincent Dsouza]

Hi,

I am considering buying a single family property.  The property is listed at lower value compared to other properties in the vicinity.  The only downside is there is a Section -8 tenant living there (have not received the disclosures on tenant lease agreement).  This tenant wants to continue living there even after the owner changes.  The owner is ready to sell the property if I can make it worth his while for him to evict the tenant (not sure if he is going to pay off tenant or what), else the property will be sold as is with the tenant living there.

I do not want the tenant and at the same time, I am not willing to pay the higher amount to make the existing owner's worth while.  So my question is how "difficult" is it to get rid of a Section - 8 tenant legally.
