Property Management Communication

HI BP,

Another question from a newbie:

I have a property that the lease expired at the end of last month, 3/31.   It is a Section 8 property, about 65% of the rent is paid by the gov't.

When I received my owner statement a few days ago (4/10), I was surprised to see no rent collected in April, not even the gov't portion, only the monthly PM fee.   I was prepared to see the tenant portion reduced or missing, but not the gov't portion.

I've asked the PM for an explanation but they haven't responded yet.  My assumption right now is that the tenant moved out at the end of their lease.

If that is the case, I would have expected a notification from the PM that they were leaving.

I thought maybe they just left without telling the PM, but if that was the case, wouldn't the gov't portion still come? Maybe the tenant told HUD they were leaving and HUD didn't inform my PM?

Thoughts from anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
