They’re usually well screened, you get market rate, the government pays 80%-90% of the rent, they can’t destroy your property because there are section 8 yearly inspections , the tenants have to pay their own utilities(excluding water), you can reach out to a case worker if there are any problems you need mediation for and lastly, no one wants to lose their section 8 privilege because it’s not that easy to be granted.

This section does not impair the right of any statutory or home rule charter city, county, or town:(1) to manage or control property in which it has a financial interest through a housing authority or similar agency;(2) to contract with a property owner;(3) to act as required or authorized by laws or regulations of the United States government or this state; or(4) to mediate between property owners and tenants for the purpose of negotiating rents.Subd. 2.Exception.Subdivision 1 does not preclude a statutory or home rule charter city, county, or town from controlling rents on private residential property to the extent that the city, county, or town has the power to adopt an ordinance, charter amendment, or law to control these rents if the ordinance, charter amendment, or law that controls rents is approved in a general election.

I would pay close attention to what extent they were re-mediated.

In September 2018 BOA's lawyers got a summary judgement in our favor against the previous owners and then their lawyers filed an appeal, we now have to go to mediation ordered by the appellate court in March.

He will also be kind of a manager of sorts, so he would make sure the driveway is shoveled and help mediate if the other tenant has issues, which he already said he was okay with. 

As a realtor you need to have your realtor friend check with the local board of realtors for process of mediation and resolving disputes.

Idealy the roof needs to be replaced, ventilation added and mold re-mediated. 

Finally, we served the 3-day pay or quit on July 8, 2019, went to mediation Aug 20, 2019, trial Aug 22, 2019.Despite the contract clearly stating that Bridgehouse would pay us rent regardless of whether tenant pays them, Bridgehouse taking care of all damages to property....we have not received any money from Bridgehouse.

This is my understanding of how it works (Only my understanding because we have not had to go through an eviction yet this year :) ):Three day noticeFile UD2-3 weeks court mediation2-3 weeks court trial if mediation does not solve the problem.  

@William Webb - I would strongly recommend what @Chris Mason said - the CAR Residential Purchase Agreement has tons of built-in protections for buyers and sellers (particularly mediation & arbitration clauses).
