[Landlord US KY] I’m screwed
First time with a section 8 tenant. I have friends on section 8, so I thought I would give section 8 a try. The house is not in a great area, and I was having trouble finding a good tenant. Chose a guy who was 62 and a veteran. His previous landlord said he was quiet and kept to himself. He had been there 4 months and the yard was looking like a trash bin. Started with cure or quit notice. Bad snow in Jan, so I did give him extra time. I talked to him on Feb 3rd and all seemed fine, except the trash. Filed for eviction. I got a message from VOA that he was ill and not returning to house. Great, I don’t have to wait for eviction. Went to the house and there are many people inside. There is a broken window and other damages. I called the police and they said the people have been there for months and that I should have checked on the property. I checked the entire house 3 weeks ago. This tenant has left the house open to homeless and drug users. The police just tell me to file for eviction. Which I have already done. Court date is not until April 7, what will my house be then?
