Abel...ty for this...I love hearing about the incentive! I was worried this might be difficult to ask them to vacate as NYC housing laws generally favor tenants. 

Tenant lease is 1 year. This is the first year as well. 

Also with regards to the case worker, is it ok to keep them up to date with the difficulties or are they generally biased to the section 8 tenant? Will the case worker share whatever I communicate with tenant therefore making a difficult relationship potentially worse?

Hi BiggerPockets. I'm currently renting to a section 8 tenant in NYC and I've decided I won't be renewing the lease once it expires next summer. Are there sensible steps I should be taking at this moment? Any paper trails that should be in place or is it as simple as giving notice at the right time next year and not renewing the lease? The tenant is paying their portion of the rent (the majority is coming from city) but the tenant has been difficult to deal with and I'd like to find an new tenant once their lease is up.
