Re: On sec 8 - want to evict adult son also on lease by Mary (Pa.) on February 11, 2012 @05:58

i am disabled and live on section 8. My son is 23 year old and he works. He hs never left home and has always lived with me. I am the leaseholder. I am the one that signs the lease not him. He only signs the sections 8 papers because he is over 18 and lives with me stil and his income is included with mine. That is how they determine how much rent i pay. I was fine with him all these years..Now he is being very disrespectful to me..he screams and me and threatens to hit me. why should i have to live with someone like that?

Chances are that if his income is included with yours, there may be some kind of a process involved to have him removed from Sec 8 and from the lease, but I don't know for sure and that could be two separate issues. In this situation, where your son has lived with you for so many years, and his income is embedded with yours, it's likely you'll need to seek the help and advice of an attorney. Don't expect your son to leave quietly. He's had it pretty good so far, and it's not likely he will be able to find a place to live on his own, all things considered, for meeting Sec. 8 requirements with a combined income! I know that if you are on disability, your finances are limited. However, you are describing Elder Abuse, which could probably land your son in jail if you wish to have him arrested and to press charges. Next time he threatens you, call the police and then file a restraining order against him. If you permit this behavior to continue without consequence, perhaps the next time, or the time after that, he WILL hit you. You are in danger. At the very least, your social worker (everyone has one in my state when they are disabled) should be able to steer you in the right direction, too. Make sure you tell your social worker that your son threatens you with bodily harm, and that he emotionally abuses you (that's the yelling part). Often, many attorneys will offer a free 30 minute consultation. Frequently, if someone cannot travel, the attorney might consult with you by phone. Your social worker is NOT likely to know the law about the best way to legally get your son removed from the lease as an occupant, and removed from your home. Best of luck, Mary!
