Ok got it! Thank you guys so much for you knowledge, I will follow your advice.

I own & occupy a multi family/duplex & have a section 8 tenant on a month to month contract. I want tenant out to up grade unit. how can I remove her without eviction?

@John Nachtigall thank you for the knowledge & advice I think that is the route I will take. I appreciate your time & effort.

@Michael Tripp thank you for your knowledge but shouldn’t hap be responsible? When I purchase the property i put in a request to increase rent to fmr through Hap which they processed & payed out. They should’ve rejected my request, which they are known to do. Worst case scenario what could happen with this?

Hi I’m a new owner of a duplex in California for over a year. I inherited a section 8 tenant (by choice) who was on a month to month lease playing below fmv. I immediately gave her 60 day notice of rent increase, to fmv, which was a $410 increase from her previous rent which hadn’t increased for several years. I requested a increase of rent to hap & was approved. I started receiving payments. Recently I received a notice that says due to an executive order 2017 b-51-18 (wild fire victim displacement price gouging by landlords) I illegally raised rent above10%. And must pay back. I spoke with a hap agent & was told although I sent a REQUEST for rent increase to them and they APPROVED and even started paying out that it was my responsibility to be aware of this & be mindful not to increase the rent above 10%. Im liable???
