How to navigate non-renewal of lease?

John Humphries

Hello all. I have an inherited tenant in my triplex whose lease is ending soon, and I don't want to renew it. I am going to have to give him a 60 day notice this month to have him gone by september 1st, which is when the lease is up. However, I know that he is somewhat of a "professional tenant". He has taken the previous owner to court before, he's also tried to sue a judge and happens to be a paralegal. Once I give him the 60 day notice, what can I do to further protect myself? If he doesn't leave once the lease is technically terminated, do I follow the normal course of eviction as if it was for non payment of rent? Five day notice, etc. Or can I have him immediately removed since he'll be a squatter at that point? How long could he potentially drag this out? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
