Best way to get tenants out

Justin Johnson

I have problem tenants on a month to month lease. What is the best/fastest/cheapest way to get them out? 30 day notice to vacate, 5 day eviction notice for nonpayment or 10 day eviction notice for lease violation? I have served 5 day eviction notice for non payment for May (and 5 days have past). They have a fish which is a violation of no pet policy. Or, I could try to get one more rent payment (I expect to come this week), then serve them the 30 day notice to vacate by end of June. I fully expect they won’t pay the last month they live there. I’m in Illinois if it makes a difference.

You need to start the official eviction process. That’s the only true way to get them out
