Re: Section 8 paying - Tenant not paying her share

Long ago had this problem with a property I managed.
I send the letter you see at the bottom of this post.
The result was payment in full, and never another problem.

I was prepared to remove her.

She would have lost her benefits if I have sent that letter to the Housing Authority and she knew it.

Dear Ms _______,

As you are aware, your lease for 79 XXX Ave. ends this July 31. This means the we can end the lease at that time by not renewing.

As you are also aware, you have not been paying the rent. We want you to fix that problem. You should be paying $83 each month as your share of the rent due. We have not received any payment from you in months. In March you owed $581, and you only paid $100 of that. Since then we have received no payments at all. We feel that we have been very patient waiting for you to catch up with the rent.

This is written notice to you that you must pay $547. For the months that you are currently past due, and the additional $83. For the June rent. We require that you pay this entire amount ($ 630.) before June 29th. If you fail to pay this amount by that time we will:

1) notify the Section 8 Department of the Leominster Housing Authority that you are being required to leave the unit because of non-payment,

2) notify the Section 8 Department of the Leominster Housing Authority that the annual inspection is to be canceled because you will not be living there after July 31st.

3) this will constitute your notice to move by July 31st.

While we prefer to keep you on, we CANNOT continue to allow you to live there without paying the rent.

Sincerely,
