 Thank you so much! 

 California Fair Plan may be my only option. Believe me, I will be grateful for any coverage!

 Fillmore.

Mercury has dropped me. My building was built in 1975. I've asked my agent to inquire if there is any negotiating but pretty sure there is not. I called another agent who told me he could not find anyone to give me a quote. I'm sure I'm not alone here. What have others done? 

Thanks for those suggestions! I think I will have more luck if I'm able to bring in local people who already know and love the town.

My long term on-site property managers are finally retiring. Any suggestions where to advertise to find new managers? Small town in California. Rather a thankless job. While it does come with free housing the wages earned are very low. Ideally looking for couple but can't discriminate. 

Definitely evict them. Shop around for eviction attorney for a good price. I'm in California and I have quite a few section 8 tenants. Yes, they can be a problem just as any tenant can. My experience has been it's just those very few tenants that make your life hell. Most Section 8/non-Section 8 are good people trying their best to get along.

I feel I have an advantage over Section 8 tenants because if they don't follow the rules their contract will be revoked. I would encourage you to learn the rules they have to live by. The first month they did not pay full rent they should get a three day notice. 

At least it seems you didn’t have to spend $$ on eviction. I will give my tenant a 60 day notice tomorrow as she had made no attempts to clean up and pray she actually leaves after the 60 days. 
Thank you for your reply. Sometimes it helps to know I’m not the only one with these problems. 

@Nathan Gesner Just curious. Did you get her out? Did she remove everything? Any damage to her unit from the hoarding?

I'm in a similar situation and have given tenant until tomorrow to comply with her lease. She is a many years tenant, pays on time, and causes no problems except for this very big issue of hoarding.
