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.
