As for tenants potentially taking advantage of the rental laws and you wanting to make sure you "get your rent"....I would advise you to strongly consider putting tenants in the property that have a Section 8 Voucher IF you vet them properly.

IE housing vouchers.

Our area for section 8 voucher is 1600 for 3bd and 1400 for 2bd but I was not planning to do section 8.

They are section 8 tenants who have ended their voucher effective 8/31 also.

Period.Have the voucher match the property.

Universal vouchers, and special needs kids get more money. 

@Antonio Daniels 1-there are no different standards for screening...what you will find is that they will likely not meet your earning requirements (like 3x rent)...so you have to make exceptions...they also have very colorful backgrounds for the most part...after screening hundreds of section 8 tenants, definite patterns will appear...if you have a credit score requirement, odds are they will not meet there either (but there are fantastic voucher tenants out there as well...I've rented to nurses and other professionals with a voucher do to having a disabled child that needs a lot of services)...the one thing to be aware of is not treating them differently because they have voucher...2-The inspection depends on local authority, but the standards are the same...this is a federal program...so Housing Quality Standards (HQS) is the guiding document...how an inspector interprets that is another story...https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfil...3-Usually you will only have recertification annually, or possibly at an income change or a request or complaint...4-100%, it's one of the best sources of long-term steady income out there...I'll take a section 8 tenant over a white collar A-class tenant any day...plus you are helping to house the most vulnerable and underserved population out there.The bad things you hear about section 8 are from folks that do not understand the system and how it works, or want to be slumlords and not take care of their properties...or are ill prepared to deal with people in general.

With a voucher tenant, once a rental package is accepted, everything stops until that package is submitted and vetted, and an offer of rent is presented.

I’ve sent her 7 days to cure and I also contacted Section 8.My question, should I be prepared to get a lawyer to proceed with my eviction as I’m sure she won’t be out in the time allotted or should I just file the paperwork myself since I have a little leverage being that she has a voucher.Section 8 told me they won’t pay me for Dec if my plans are to have her gone.. but it will be kind of messed up if she’s still in my house with their voucher after deadline.. but at this point I told them I just want her gone!

Also look into section 8 vouchers for high bedroom count homes, as a 4bd gets you about $4200 in 95757.
