Mark Thank You for the link, appreciate it!!!

Pavel I agree!!!, she will be my last section 8 tenant.  When she is out I plan to rehab and list.

Hi Dawn, 

Due to a full time job I started a year ago, I was not able to attend the inspection.  The inspection cam back basically wanting a new house.  Its never been this bad, she has two younger boys with some issues and she has a 12 month baby girl.  I did not file right away because she been living there 5 years, so I gave her extra time.

I figure she be happy to move and find a new clean place, but it seems like shes broke all the time.  I did not report to the shra because, I do not want to be the person or reason to get her kicked off of her voucher.  She a single mom w/ young kids.

I have a section 8 tenant for the last 5 years.  Each year she get worse.  This year when the annual inspection came, I told her I will not fix all those things to pass, this year her boys got older and wrecked most of the house.  I gave her a 30 day notice to vacate.

That was 3 months ago.  During that time frame, she has not gotten the RFTA or found a new place to move to.  SHRA stop paying as of 10/01/14.  She also broke most of the time.  She just sleeping most of the time I go visit, and she always changing cell #.  How do I get her motivated to move?  What time frame does she have after the contract expires?

I was told by an attorney that because I did not fix those thing that were on my side for the annual inspection, that I may not be able to evict her?  It was my fault that she is no longer in contract?  Should I start the eviction process? cash for keys?

Any advice to a solution would be greatly appreciated!

This was a great post. I say keep an open mind about investing in A B C and D neighborhoods. There is money to be had in each market. Why limit yourself?
The "good stuff" is available in each market. And yes I do like owning the good stuff too, just as much as I love a good deal. Education and knowledge is key.

Dawn you are getting awesome deals!
