Evicting a Month-to-Month renter

[Travis West]

I just looked at a nice 3/1.5 house that a motivated landlord wants to sell. Currently, it's occupied by a tenant who has only been there for two months. She has been late with the rent and hasn't even paid to have the power turned on. My "ever so helpful" Realtor tells me that the eviction process for someone who is on a month-to-month lease is just as tough as someone on a long term lease. Is this true? Can anyone offer knowledgeable advice on this situation? Thanks. Travis West
