I'm in agreement with Fred and Anon. Send the tenants and Section 8 a 30 day notice of non-renewal TOMORROW, to be out by Sept 30. Send it both regular and certified mail, and post a notice of it on their door. You should get rent from Sec 8 for Sept. but nothing after that. If the Ts do not pay their portion of Sept. rent, start eviction procedures against them for non-pay of rent. Don't say anything about the items you need to repair. Once Sec 8 gets your letter, they won't want back in to do a re-inspection anyway. Once the Ts are out, you can fix things up and re-rent it again, just not to a Sec 8 tenant. AND-----don't go over there to do any repairs till they are out. As the anon said, Sec 8 will not pay you anything if the repairs are not done. Once completely out, take pics of all the damage done, and get the deposit statement out within the 30 day time frame.

I wasn't clear- what I'm asking is can I do a 30 day notice? I thought it had to be 60 or 90 days? If it does can they stay until the end of Oct. or Nov. ? I imagine that they will not pay for those months so it could be very costly. If they do stay I read I can charge more for the baby when it's born Is this correct? I do want them out but maybe not if I loose the other 2 months of rent. Also, can I just tell Sec 8 I want to leave the program ?

Hud only pays slightly under 1/3 of their rent.

Since they've been there longer than one year, you'll need to give them a 60-day notice. I would still contact Section 8 as well. If they don't pay rent, contact Section 8 again and also start legal proceedings. If they want to keep their benefits, they'll get with the program. As far as I know, you can stop participating in Section 8 at any time.

I can't believe you actually asked the question of : can you charge more rent when their baby is born !!?? H-LL NO YOU CAN'T !!! Do you want to be brought up on charges of discrimination against families with children ?? You need to get ahold of a civil rights person IMMEDIATELY and read about discrimination laws in this country. And, yes, you can write a letter to Sec 8 telling them you no longer want to be on their program as of a certain date (probably 60 days out).
