Buying with Tenants
Hey all! My brother and I are buying a duplex in PA that already has tenants.We are planning on renovating the property, but need the tenants to leave. I know there are laws that require 90 days notice, but neither side has a lease. Are we allowed to evict them day 1 because they don't have a valid lease? Also how would we go about doing that? -Thanks!

You definately can not just change the locks.
If you are set on moving them out you will need to give at least a 30 day notice.
I would give notice of rent increase as Eric suggested and have them sign a lease with the new amount. They will most likely leave, if they do decide to pay and stay even better!
good luck!
