@David Greene (author of the book), provides a very good blueprint to follow, when getting into out of state investing.

The author does not manage his own properties but I do and it's not so bad. 

Just go on the Housing Authority website and search for the Housing Choice Voucher Program.  

Send infraction letter, (and copy of photo) to the tenant, include in it 'immediate cease and desist', and inform them of your obligation to inform the proper authorities.  

If I do not receive payment Monday, a full week after closing - I will be contacting the authorities and taken appropriate action to receive payment.

Brokers, municipal authorities, etc will be able to provide you information but that's just a start.

For anything like check with the local town authority.

It's a guaranteed rent payment on the 1st of every month from the housing authority assuming their voucher covers 100% of the rent and usually get just slightly above market rent for each unit.If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message.

If passed, the law would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Act and expand local governments' authority to enact rent control on residential property.

They are the taxing entity, no the zoning authority.
