How to Handle Section 8 Evictions

Jul 3, 2024

When dealing with a tenant under Section 8, you should know that the Federal CARES Act adds specific requirements to the eviction process that differ from standard non-payment of rent situations.

If your property is covered by the CARES Act, you must provide the tenant with a 30-day notice to pay rent or quit instead of the traditional 3-day notice used in most cases. This is a key difference when evicting Section 8 tenants.
