Landlord possession of Section 8 unit for personal use
Hello BP Peers,
I’m part of a volunteer not for profit organization that owns a mixed use two family and store In New York. We rent the two apartments (regular tenant and a Section 8) and use the storefront for our membership events and meetings. We would like to take possession of both units and use them as our offices, and also to offer our International members a free, lottery based or raffle based, short term vacation stay to visit NYC. The membership Is aware of the loss of income, but thats not our concern
Now, some of the directors and members are investors themselves with section 8 tenants, they know what needs to happen to claim possession of one of the two apartments, but no one knows what to do to claim possession of the section 8 unit.
My question to you guys is, is there a simple way that the organization can refuse to renew the section 8s lease and remove itself from the section 8 program? It seems that the question “can a landlord no longer be part of the section 8 program” isn’t in the faq of any website but has plenty of ways to join it, and how a tenant can find housing, but no answers on how a landlord can quit the program.
I would appreciate any type of insight on this.
Thanks,
George
