What does section 8 contracts consist of?
Basically, a section 8 contract is an agreement among the Housing Authority that is administering the section 8 program, the landlord, and the tenant. They usually consist of agreements by which the Housing Authority will, on behalf of the federal government - HUD, to be exact, to the landlord its portion of the rent, to ensure that the tenant's portion is proportionate to his income. There are federal regulations for this program under which all three parties must abide.

The news last week stated that nycha section 8 tenants are to be evicted because section 8 did not pay section 8's portion of their rent?
It may be that the Housing Autority cancelled the Section 8 contract because of the tenant's breach. In that case, yes, the tenant is simply responsible for all of the rent, and if the tenant does not pay, the landlord should move forward with eviction. But, there is federal regulation saying that the tenant cannot be evicted if the Housing Authority simply stopped paying for some reason that has nothing to do with the tenant, like the housing authoriy's error, or budget problems.
Is a Section 8 Landlord required to have insurance?
Every landlord is required to have insurance, but now the question is what type of insurance. Property insurance is likely the type of insurance that the landlord is carrying. This does not cover anything inside the property that belongs to the tenant. For this, the tenant needs to purchase separate insurance called renters insurance.
Is it illegal for a section 8 landlord to block mail from a relative of a tenant?
Some legal scholars believe that any interference with the mail is a violation of the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment, which isn't a violation of Section 8, just the tenant's rights. A better argument is that it is a violation of Federal Law to interfere with the mail. Talk to the local postmaster.
