Section 8 tenant uses inspection as a way out of lease

[Tanya Blalock]

I believe my Section 8 tenant is using the inspection process as a way out of herlease.  Inspection findings included tub surface repair and mice/roach infestation.  I have gone back and forth (verbally) with tenant over rodents and she has never definitively stated that they're were rodents and she flat out stated she had notroaches.  Now all of sudden its in the inspection report.

So my question is should I just let the Section 8 contract expire so she can get out of her lease?  If so, what would be the consequence of this?  Otherwise she will continue to be the PIA until next spring when I choose not to renew her lease.  

I intend to challenge the vague inspection report, which by the way, did not include pictures of the deficient items.

Lastly, if I do fix the items and try to keep her in the unit, the tub refinishing may be problematic as she has COPD and I don't want to be responsible for inhaling anything that could trigger something with her health. 

Thanks in advance for advice.

In your note it appears you both want her to stay and you want her to go.  If she wants to break her lease and you want her to leave, why not let her go?
