Which form or notice should I use to end lease with tenant
This tenant I allowed to start a lease with last June is someone I want to give a notice to. I want their lease end date to be June 3rd.
I had the lease wording that says in slightly different wording "This lease is for a year. After that either party can end the lease for any reason. There is no penalty for the tenant to end the lease at any time with a 30 day notice"...
And the reason I did this is because it is very important to me, with small town circumstances and dynamics for my family in the town the rental is located in, that the tenant not be disrespectful or unfair in any way.
This tenant has very rude, accusing and agressive. There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service. Yelled at me and said disparaging things to my face. Been late on rent. I have given them notices about these things. This past week has been trying to adopt a dog from the animal shelter. They never talked to me about it and instead just had the shelter call me repeatedly for permission. I didn't give it. Now they're texting me in an accusing way about how I let the neighbor have dogs and not her. I truly believe she had a medical condition and shouldn't even live in my house, should probably live in elderly housing or the like. Get a dog there. I do not trust her, plain and simple.
I'm thinking I can just write a simple letter giving notice that the lease will end at the end of 12 months letter style without citing any specific reasons.
What do you think? What would you do?
