Eviction of HUD tenant question.

[Ryan Cash]

I recently purchased my first investment property. The current tenants are HUD and are on a month to month lease. Their rent is about $400 below the market value of the area. The unit needs to be updated and I would like to evict them so I can update the property. I am going to raise rents once the remodel is done and I know they cannot afford to pay what I will be asking. They are currently looking for another place to move but I need to have a definite end date that they move out. I know for HUD in Oregon there is 60 day notice of eviction. My question is, can I give notice of eviction to the tenant on the grounds of doing an update on the property? While I am certain they are going to move, I just need to have things on my end in order in case they don't and want to follow any and all tenant laws in the process. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

@Ryan Cash, if the residents are on a month to month tenancy is no language in your HUD contract that prohibits you terminating the tenancy without cause, then you should be able to simply deliver an "End of Tenancy" notice. You can obtain these notices through trade groups like Multifamily NW in Oregon or Rental Housing Association. When you issue an end of tenancy notice without stated cause you do not need to provide a reason.

This is my understanding. I cannot give legal advice. Please consult an attorney if you are unsure.

I hope this helps!
