Contact a landlords association where Google to find or go into this website go find. Next minimum standards under building code is not cosmetic where colour does not have to match or floor tiles do not have to match where no lose paint, plaster or unpainted surfaces. A touch up is only required. No loose or missing tiles where again does not have to match. Go into town or city get a copy of building codes. Where everything has a number relating to building codes. Locks have to work, heating system has to work along with plumbing has to work, no leaks from outside, receptacles and light switch covers must be covered. So as long there are absolutely no building or fire code violations than one percent on and off where can bring rental to market with some renovations than avoid government altogether. Keep records of all repairs and invoices to show rental unit is maintained. If they refuse entry for repairs than record as well. --207.236.xxx.xxx

Is she MTM? If she is, terminate her lease and file for possession if she doesn’t move. No reason needs to be given. You’ve had her for a year on Section 8 so it would be hard for her to claim retaliation. Bolster your case to get possession in case she doesn’t leave though. Send a NTQ now for her behavior towards the contractor.Then terminate tenancy. After you have sent sheriff to serve notice to terminate tenancy, only then do you send NTQ for the cat. We all know it’s going to magically turn into an ESA. It won’t matter if you have already had her served by sheriff. --68.191.xx.xx

In my state a section 8 person does not want an eviction filed against them cause the will loose their voucher..so the will just move before that happens. Oh and if I file, section 8 will also stop paying me. So tread carefully but know the rules of the process. --172.59.xxx.xxx

After out then consider converting out electricity, heat to where tenants pay and control use. This is expensive upfront where immediately increases value of building along with screens out problem tenants who have unpaid utilities.Major renovations will paid for by higher rent. Most governments want rental units all inclusive where the better option is stay clear of government programs all together. Past experience with governments is tenants feel they should not portion of rent by them even though that is $135 per month. Most of them do not work where social assistance. It is better to get someone who works less drama and issues as they know how hard it is to work. As long as governments fail to implement work fare these people will continue to be spoon fed along with visiting the food banks then throw away a lot of food as they are picky. People who work live a normal life along less likely to use illegal drugs. Imagine what would happen in a town or city if no one showed up for work where everything would be closed down. --207.236.xxx.xxx

Sounds like she is not supposed to have a cat. --76.129.xxx.xx

Our rental contract says any pets are prohibited unless they have written permission from us. She does not --24.34.xxx.xxx

One thing to consider when renovating is not to use residential flooring like carpet, laminate flooring or wood flooring in a rental unit where it is better while more expensive upfront along much more labour intensive to install Schluter Ditra membrane then install commercial porcelain flooring which is easily cleaned up with a mop with bleach.. A lit cigarette does not burn. Commercial porcelain easily lasts ten years even more where once they move a quick mopping then ready to rent. Tenants will often sneak in a pet where if a vicious dog then can take action. Here I see rental housing providers use landfill type of flooring where every 3 years replacing all over again. Where some of the flooring does not even last 3 years. --207.236.xxx.xxx

C) Be a good neighbor: Tenant shall not commit any waste upon said premises, or any nuisance or act which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any neighbors. Neighborhood complaints of noise, trash, unkempt yard, improper parking, unruly behavior of an occupant, unruly animals, noisy visitors, arguing, yelling, multiple police calls, are grounds for termination of tenancy. Bad treatment including verbal or physical threats or foul language toward neighbors, repairpersons, Landlord or staff, is grounds for termination of tenancy. --68.229.xxx.xxx

As your tenant is on Section 8 assistance, does anyone know if the Section 8 office will offer any assistance ? Harassing the repair crew is pretty ugly behavior, in my opinion. If Section 8 knew she is being vile to the tradesperson, causing them to refuse to do work, might they pull her assistance? I haven't had anyone on Section 8, just wondering. --72.135.xxx.xx

In my area S8 would do nothing that could cause them to lose the gov money they are collecting. --107.147.xx.xx

Be careful with your S-8 increases. Rent for a S-8 property cannot exceed what you charge for similar units that you own or manage. --107.141.xx.xxx

I just gave a section 8 tenant 30 day notice. Trashed my house un authorized pets multiple lease violations. She called section8 and complained. They got a hold of me. I told them the truth. Now she is going to lose her voucher Karma --174.229.xxx.xxx

Another reason I no longer accept S8. --107.147.xx.xx

I have no idea about the amount of money that this property generates for you but considering this as well as your previous posts regarding this property, IMO I think that you should strongly consider selling it. --96.233.xxx.xx
