I need to kick a tenant out.

[Rob Murden]

I bought my property on July 12th, the tenant has not paid the rent for the whole month of July including the amount owed the the previous Landlord, also he is on a month to month lease and I have not signed a new lease with him. Will it be easier to kick him out since he has not signed a lease with me, am I obligated to give him a 3 day pay or quit notice or can I just flat out evict him.

@Rob Murden His agreement with the previous landlord basically transfers with the property, so treat it just like he was on month-to-month with you, because he is. You will have to go through the exact same process as if he had originally signed the lease with you. Send thr 3-day letter. If you don't get a positive response, I would try a cash for keys option, before starting legal proceedings. It's usually cheaper and less hassle.
