Should Tenants be made to leave

[Louisa Seales]

I have a duplex that is used as student housing. Five bedrooms 2 up and 3 down each have their own laundry.

It has been a bit of a challenge managing especially in Aug-Sept. Having to vet tenants and do leases. Things breaking down, issues with water. 

What igets me is tenants for a week or more didn't say anything about a leak that was evidently coming from the ceiling and dripping down the walls.

They are students who continue to stay after there lease, so are now month to month. I am thinking get rid of them. In my top unit add another bedroom so 2 becomes 3. Downstairs clean it up and increase the rents.

Any thoughts?
