It is a little difficult to understand what you are asking. No matter whether you are under Section 8 or not, the same rules apply in general. Why create trouble with the landlord by going against what they tell you, especially when the prior tenant represents a possible danger to the children in the project? Unless you are on a long term lease, the landlord can give you a thirty day notice of the ending on the tenancy and does not need to state any reason unless you are under rent control or city rules prohibit that [often they do]. If the unit is Section 8 how can you not be under Section 8 as those units are supposed to be only for section 8 families and there is normally a waiting list for such units. If the person is not a relative you are probably violating the lease by letting him stay in your unit.
