month to month eviction any different?

[William Howley]

Hi, I recently purchased a triplex that had month to month tenants. There is a particular tenant that I predict will be late / not pay.  As of right now, I have nothing signed with these people, how will the eviction process change from a normal lease situation? meaning... when evicting a leased tenant, there is explicit writing that must be followed such as after 3 days late they will receive a notice, and owe $40 extra etc... but with a month to month and no signed lease nothing is specified. So then how does one know which protocol to follow? If someone is m2m is there some type of "default" procedure that is considered standard for the county? If that is the case how would I find out what these standards are? Since I have nothing signed with these people should I have at a minimum some type of month to month document signed?
