Unveiling the Truth about Section 8 Abatements: 6 Things You Need To Know!

Подробнее о видео

Read this! THREE MORE THINGS you need to know that didn't make it into my video. Section 8 houses have annual inspections. If you do not pass the second inspection, you go into abatement meaning Section 8 stops paying you rent until the day it passes the inspection again. Section 8 will not pay you retroactively for the time you were in abatement. The house was not safe at that time, so Section 8 will not pay you. You also risk losing your tenant if you go into abatement.

And it's also not a good look to go into abatement. The different housing commissions know which landlords seem to go into abatement the most. The housing commissions do not have to accept you as a landlord and, make no mistake, they have a relationship with tenants. They can guide tenants on who the good and the bad landlords are. I'm proud that I'm on the top of their list of good landlords. I know this because I've been called before when they have a preferred tenant who is having trouble finding a landlord who can pass inspections.

When I know a tenant is leaving, I always start the eviction process regardless of what my deal is with the tenant. I tell them it's policy and not personal. Ask your attorney which paper to send at the time you have a hunch they're moving out. You don't have to take them to court when you send the notice, but at least you have the notice part done so you're not starting fresh once you realize they've become a holdover tenant (nonpaying house guest).
