Struggling Roommate Situation

[Jayden Espinosa]

Hey Everyone. I have a 4 bed/2 bath in a small college town. I rent it out to 4 young men. Over the past few months, I have been struggling with one of them. He has been late on rent 2 times now, (will be 3 if he doesn't pay within the next 8 hours) and his roommates have complained about him numerous times.

They have said that he has been smoking in the house, had guests over that are smoking in/around the property, have felt unsafe around him, and have found things go missing whenever he friends are at the house. He is on a month to month lease. I looked into the law and it looks like I only have to give him a 15 days notice before kicking him out.

I went and did a property inspection last night and found no evidence of the smoking. However, I just want to make sure I handle this correctly. An eviction notice can only be by text, correct? Also, do I have to give him a reason at all to get him out of my property? Or can I just say, "I am not renewing your lease." and go forward with that.

Would love to hear everybody's feedback. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. Thank you.
