Evicting Section 8 Tenants from Triplex

[Joe San]

Hello all, 

Looking currently at an off market deal that seems to be priced right for the area its in.  The only catch is that the current owner is running the triplex with 3 separate section 8 tenants.  I believe that renovating the units would be the right move to maximize the property so I would need to get all the current tenants out when their leases run out.

I am assuming this will not be easy, and maybe wont even be possible due to the strict rules that I am sure that HUD has in place. Has anyone gone through a similar situation and what was your experience?

Thank you for any insight .

NJ allows you to not offer renewal for legitimate reasons, including rehabbing units.

But always treat the human, not just the situation. Let them know you'll be rehabbing ahead of time so they have enough time to look around. Even offer financial incentive to ensure they're out of needed.
