Buying a duplex with a section 8 tenant.

Hey guys!

I am considering putting in an offer on a duplex in Los Angeles that was built in 1994.  This means the building is not under rent control.  However, one or maybe both of the untis are section 8.  I am planning to live in one of the units.  Does anyone know what are the steps in California to evict a section 8 tenant? Thanks in advanced!

Hello,

I also am pro section 8 when it comes to tenants.  Right now of all my tenants my top 3 are section 8 tenants.  Clean, respectful and your money is guaranteed.  I would suggest having them re apply as a tenant when their lease is up and see if they are a good fit or not.  As with any tenant there are good and bad, both on section 8 and not.   Screening is the key.  Good luck!
