Removing inherited tenants

[Vincent Antinore]

Hi All,

I bought a duplex in the beginning of February with tenants. They both are low income and have a hard time making ends meet (paying me). They were on a month to month lease with the prior owner and have not yet signed my lease. I'd like to simply part ways and serve them non-renewal papers. Do I still need to evict them? If they are month to month do I still need to provide them more than 30 days notice?  (tenants for a little under two years

Thank you

You will need to check with your state's laws regarding how much notice is required. Then post the required notice to move out. You only have to evict them if they don't go.
