Hi Deshawn,

As mentioned above 90 days is typically the requirement for section 8 tenants, and make sure you receive proof of service from Section 8 and the tenant so that no one can dispute it late.

That being said if this is a multi family unit situation that creates some different requirements. Also COVID guidelines are inhibiting the ability to serve notices to vacate unless there is a tenant fault just cause.

Finally if the tenant decides not to cooperate and vacate on the termination date evictions are still on hold and not much can be done.

It may be best to ride it out for a short while longer until landlord/tenant laws stabilize.
