Seeking help with eviction in Glens Falls, NY

[Gargi Keeling]

We've been having a lot of difficulty with a section 8 tenant that was already living in the property we acquired less than a year ago. We have done our best to remediate issues but the place is filthy and occupied by six people. So we cannot make all the repairs until they move out. The tenant demanded an inspection from the housing authority and given that we can't remediate all the issues, they are no longer subsidizing her housing.

So she put herself in a bad position and now has to move out. We gave her more than sufficient notice and she is delinquent on her April rent. We would like to get her settled into a more suitable property but she claims she can't find one. Can somebody help us navigate this situation so we can move on?

By the way, before you assume anything about us, we fully remodeled the downstairs unit and have a wonderful tenant in there.
