Inheriting Section 8 Tenant

[Danny Maller]

I am FINALLY closing on my first rental property (3 unit) this Friday! However, back in late January when I had my inspection I learned from the current tenant that she and her family were month to month and said they would be moving out. I thought nothing of it at the time but here we are today and I've learned they are Section 8 and have not put a 30 days notice into the property management company anything about them moving.

My question is so broad that I need help narrowing down what I should do here. Do I need to have the place reinspected to be Section 8 compliant? Do I contact HUD to cancel payments to the current property management company? The property is in Humboldt Park, Chicago and I intend to owner occupy within the month. Thanks!
