Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: evicting section 8 (hud) tenants

I would contact the local agency that is in charge of section 8 housing. I am not sure if there are special criteria that needs to be followed to evict section 8 recipients. However, it would seem that just because our tax dollars pay their rent shouldn't mean they are exempted from being evicted. But what is logical isn't always legal. Start with the section 8 housing authority or whatever agency oversees section 8 housing. Tell them the problems you have had with the tennants and that you would like to reclaim your property. Hopefully the standard thirty day eviction notice will be sufficient. Good luck. Don't do anything until you have something in writing from the agency in charge outlining your responsibilities when evicting the tennants.
