60 day notice and eviction

[Aubrey Ford]

I have two properties that I bought that have month to month tenants in place.  Sent the 60 day notice on June 30th notifying of rent increase and the need to sign new 12 month lease agreements before August 31 or vacate by then.  Now both tenants have failed to pay any rent in July. I think I will have to evict. I think it’s best to wait till sept 1 and evict under the 60 day notice instead of failure to pay rent.

What advice does the experts have in terms of getting the rent owed? A separate suit for monies owed? Add it to the eviction process or am I simply out of luck once they vacate to ever get the past rent?
