Politely and professioanlly remind her who is "boss". It is not your responsibility to collect the money. It is HER responsibility to make sure the money is to you on time. She needs to simply mail the check to you each month on time. If she can't promise you that then notify her caseworker. I have dealt with Section 8 tenants for YEARS and most are actually very grateful to even have a landlord that takes Section 8. 

If she is late with her portion of the rent because YOU did not go pick up the money then it is her fault and let her know that with the moratoriums starting to be lifted, you can and will find another Section 8 tenant very, very quickly to replace her.

Also............do not emphasize to her how difficult it is for you to travel 40 miles to pick up rent money. If you do this she may quickly start putting in "maintenance requests" that are a little on the frivolous side, simply to see you suffer. Personally I love Section 8 tenants and I strongly prefer them,....but the ones like who you are describing are ones that I have no problem getting rid of fast because they are the ones that give the program a bad name.

Bingo!  The one that Arlen put in this thread is the one I was referring to.

Agreed............and now Clayton Morri$ is......oh never mind.

Looks like a Meetup Group that I'm a part of will finally be having an in person meetup on July 24th in Fremont. The details are on Meetup. 

Not in San Francisco,....but there will be an in person meetup in Fremont on July 24th. Investors from different parts of the Bay Area will be there. details should be on Meetup right about now.

The tax advisor does not necessarily need to be "in" The City. They need to know real estate tax strategy.

How did it turn out?

Did the tenants move out yet?

No need for that sort of name calling "AJ". As an FYI....My post has already given you advice (not advise). Good luck.

There's going to be one in Fremont on July 24th. Go to meetup for the details.
