Hi. I got an approved letter from the NY Housing Authority. I just wanted to make sure that the form I filled out is the next step.

I understand you received an approved letter from the NY Housing Authority. Can you tell me more about the form you filled out?

I filled out the eviction notice.

Have you already submitted the form to the NY Housing Authority as part of the process?

Yes, I did that part—mailed it to the Housing Authority and the tenant.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your eviction notice.

No.

Hello! My name is TJ and I’m an attorney. Thanks so much for the opportunity to assist you! I reviewed what you wrote and I’m about to post my initial answer.

TJ, Esq.

It sounds like you've already completed and submitted the eviction notice form to the NY Housing Authority, which is a good step.

The next part of the process will typically involve waiting for the Housing Authority to review the situation. They will likely notify you of any further steps, such as a hearing or additional paperwork. Keep an eye on any correspondence they send to ensure you’re moving forward properly.

TJ, Esq.

Have you received any notice from the Housing Authority about a potential hearing or additional forms? Also, do you know the timeline they provided for next steps after your submission?

I received the "Certification of Basis for Eviction Proceeding Against Tenant Participating in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program" form stating that the Housing Authority has accepted my eviction certification as landlord.

TJ, Esq.

It looks like the Housing Authority has officially accepted your certification to proceed with the eviction against a Section 8 tenant. This is an important step.

With the certification in hand, the next phase typically involves either the Housing Authority or the court issuing a notice of hearing or scheduling a final determination.

If the tenant contests the eviction, there could be a hearing where both parties present their cases. The Housing Authority ensures the eviction is compliant with Section 8 program rules and may get involved in the court process if needed.

At this point, monitor all future communication from both the Housing Authority and the court for details on hearings or further actions. Be prepared with your documents, especially since this process is more involved when dealing with Section 8 tenants.

Okay, thank you so much—that helps. I will await correspondence from them. Have a great day! I just wanted to make sure that there is nothing else I needed to send to the tenant.
