You give them a notice to comply and if they do not right away you get rid of them for non-compliance.

Personally, I'd incur a vacancy and give the person a termination notice if your rental agreement or lease allows for such (providing it keeps with local housing regulation compliance).

Did you give notice to vacant or any other non compliance issue?

When I first started out as an owner they only allowed a certain amount of rentals (25%) and I was in compliance.

@Karen MargraveWith an extra seven (that's 50%) people, the wear and tear will greatly increase; there will be 50% more load on water and sewer systems; more laundry, etc.Your in a "lengthy eviction state", so, in your shoes, I would start the process immediately and issues he necessary notifications for non-compliance with the lease; if find a workable resolution, you can always halt the process.You could give them a deadline to have the numbers reduced (i.e.

With all of the "free" or nearly free attorneys available today to low income people, landlords get sued all the time, even when it isn't justified.The longer answer is you have a potentially major problem over the mold, because you probably didn't have her sign a mold waiver which is a very specific document right down to the size, density, and font selection.You likely also are not a properly licensed lender with a compliance management system in place.

They may come into compliance with the terms of the rental agreement once they have clear direction from you.

I'm not an attorney so I would contact one or a CPA to make sure you are in compliance with your state laws.Personally, I would let the  tenant out of their lease or agreement and refund their deposit (so long as there is no damage to the unit) and find another tenant.  

Section 8 is both good and potentially bad.You have compliance issues and inspections to deal with and they will decide how much money you get.You also need to screen applicants much harder to prevent the nightmare tenants from getting in and never wanting to leave without destruction in their wake.You have to watch them like Hawks for the first six months because that is when the problems will start like moving unauthorized family and non family members into the home overcrowding the property,running illegal businesses,causing disturbances,property damage,etc.Just not worth it in my book unless you can find good tenants or are struggling to rent to non sec 8 tenants.

The fixed costs of legal compliance are fairly high.
