Garage tenant eviction

[David Boroughes]

Hey Everybody,

Question here about what to do in the situation where a garage space had been rented to an individual for storage, no lease, not a commercial garage just residential, hand shake agreement. Months have gone by with no rent being paid. Tenant makes contact, then fails to follow through with payment. I'm at the point of just kicking them out of the space, but there is a lot of materials and personal property inside the garage. I know for a residence there are certain notices and time lines that need to be followed, but what about in this situation? This is not a residence and no one is living there, there is no lease either. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I am not going to go through a lawyer, the rent is not much, so its not worth trying to drag them to court or collect back rent, and it would cost me more in attorney's fee's than it's worth.
