Its impossible to evict the tenant.....

It is extremely difficult being a landlord in New York City. Tenants assume that you have money because you are a landlord. The reality is that most landlords don’t have a lot of money because the rent money received goes to pay your mortgage. Voucher tenants are not ideal tenants because they have bad credit which means they don’t pay their bills or don’t know how to establish good credit. The vouchers don’t honor the rent for the term of the lease, and never pay the rent on time. My tenant had a voucher and once her public assistance case closed they stop paying the rent. I am in the process now of trying to evict her and its impossible to evict the tenant. Shes going to get free legal help and the judge will let it play out for months. I’ve been through this situation before. If you are landlord in New York City I recommend not accepting a voucher tenant, and at this point I actually recommend not being a landlord in New York City.
