NJ - How to get rid of tenant at end of lease?
I purchased my first rental property (triplex) 7 months ago and have had pretty good success with it thus far minus a few hiccups here and there.
In my one unit however I have trouble tenants who are habitual late-rent payers. I probably have been too lenient but with juggling 3 units plus purchasing a new primary residence that needed major renovations I was a little hesitant to evict.
Regardless, here we are again nearing the first of the month and the excuses are coming in as to why rent is late. With 4 months to go I'm not sure if it's even worth it to evict (they have 5 business days per my lease until it is late, so that's June 8 and it may not come to that).
My question really is how to end the lease and make the tenants move out. I had a RE lawyer write my lease but it doesn't really say anywhere about non-renewal. Here is my language:
So I could really use some guidance as to how to send a notice, let them know, etc that I do not wish to renew the lease with them and request that they move out at the lease end date, 9/30/17. Any advice at all is greatly appreciated. BP has been a great resource for navigating my first property!
