Termination of a tenant Lease

Ricardo Polanco
Posted

Hi everyone, I bought a property 5 month ago in Pennsylvania, the property came with a tenant paying under market value rent (actual rent: $550, market rent $1200). Besides the low rent she pays she is very demanding, pays late and is not taking good care of the property. The previous owner made a really poor elaborated lease that looks like it is going to end in April 2025. I would like to know if there is a way I can terminate the lease based on the unclear termination date or no termination restrictions indicated? I know she won't cooperate, but I would love to get the property back, renovated and put it back to rent. I am attaching here a picture of the lease, of course keeping in private some information. Thank you.
