There are a number of different procedural technicalities that must be followed very carefully in order to properly evict a tenant especially if they are section 8, so it is highly advisable to have legal assistance and not do it yourself, the consequences to one little mistake can be quite severe.

Re: eviction
Section-8 has MANY specific requirements for landlords, which youve contractually agreed to by receiving the monthly checks from the government. Generally, it is not permitted by Section-8 to have extra people living in the apartment, and is a violation of the contract with Section-8 and the lease.
However, as beingthat yo uare dealing with Section-8 whcih has some pretty tight requirements I would advise you to retain an attorney to handle this eviction for you.
