Thanks for those suggestions! I think I will have more luck if I'm able to bring in local people who already know and love the town.

My long term on-site property managers are finally retiring. Any suggestions where to advertise to find new managers? Small town in California. Rather a thankless job. While it does come with free housing the wages earned are very low. Ideally looking for couple but can't discriminate. 

Definitely evict them. Shop around for eviction attorney for a good price. I'm in California and I have quite a few section 8 tenants. Yes, they can be a problem just as any tenant can. My experience has been it's just those very few tenants that make your life hell. Most Section 8/non-Section 8 are good people trying their best to get along.

I feel I have an advantage over Section 8 tenants because if they don't follow the rules their contract will be revoked. I would encourage you to learn the rules they have to live by. The first month they did not pay full rent they should get a three day notice. 

At least it seems you didn’t have to spend $$ on eviction. I will give my tenant a 60 day notice tomorrow as she had made no attempts to clean up and pray she actually leaves after the 60 days. 
Thank you for your reply. Sometimes it helps to know I’m not the only one with these problems. 

@Nathan Gesner Just curious. Did you get her out? Did she remove everything? Any damage to her unit from the hoarding?

I'm in a similar situation and have given tenant until tomorrow to comply with her lease. She is a many years tenant, pays on time, and causes no problems except for this very big issue of hoarding.

Thanks @Monique Rene Coates! Post will be live to the public by tomorrow. Guess we will see how it goes!

Hi All. After many years my onsite managers are retiring. They are a couple that have pretty much spoiled me with their hard work. I have put notice out to the complex and so far only one single woman has submitted a resume. I'm guessing I can't discriminate by saying I prefer a couple. The job will be put out later today to a wider audience. 

How have you found onsite managers? Any tips on how to interview applicants? This is for a 55+ community. Mostly lower income. I'm expecting a big response as it comes with free apartment. Unfortunately doesn't pay great-minimum wage. 

These forums are an amazing source of information! Thank you to everyone who took the time to share wisdom!

 I am having that same problem. Working now to get rid of dishes not in use. There ought to be a law!
