Evicting a Section 8 Tenant (TAW) in MA - Process/Time/Cost?
Hi Investors & Landlords,
I am evicting a Section 8 TAW for nonpayment of rent. I inherited a section 8 tenant when I bought the house last month who has been here for 10 years and has not paid his partial of last month's rent. Him and his wife both have cancer and the section 8 is under his wife's name who is hospitalized for some time. This tenant has ignored my warnings - to stop smoking in the unit (multiple times), having unauthorized guests in the unit without my permission, have spread rumors and lies about me throughout the neighborhood, and have ignored my texts (only method of communication). Just wanted to see how long does it take to evict someone in Massachusetts and is also a section 8 recipient + cost?
Thank you in advance!
