I'm told by other LLs in my market that the local housing authority takes months to onboard a new property into the program and get a tenant approved. 

Market rate tenants can be processed and approved in a few days.

Am I forced to wait for a poorly run government agency to approve me/my applicant, foregoing several months of rent? Even in the case of multiple applicants? @Russell Brazil

Locksmith? Why, are all the keys lost? Just swap out with a new lock.

Your only responsibility is to honor the existing contract. Now, if everyone is in agreement you could do an early termination.

It depends on the flooring material.

Tile, yes.

Vinyl, no.

It’s less than 1 year. Just honor the contract.

Most do their best to stay healthy on the preventative side. That’s why you see so few that smoke, drink, use drugs, or eat fast food.

 Well Max I don’t smoke, drink, do drugs, but sometimes I do do fast food. No sodas though. :-)

 TBH i read your question too fast, was thinking about contractors, and trying to be funny.

Can the old tenant connect to the device after the new tenant sets it up on their new wifi?

@Frankie Parker

Why would one supply consumables in a long term rental? If so, consider it a donation.
