How to Not Renew Lease?

[Jon K.]

How can I not renew a lease for a tenant?

The situation:
- Shared housing (as in, it's my house, and I have roommates/tenants)
- Tenant rents out one bedroom, has access to shared living spaces
- Tenant's 1 year lease will expire in a few months. I wish to NOT renew.

Do I tell tenant I will not renew, no explanations?

Can I not renew if I plan to re-rent the room?

Do I raise the tenant's rent at lease renewal time to encourage tenant to leave?

Tenant has been a huge pain all along. Tenant has a long commute, and I said I would consider cutting the lease. Tenant has not found a place yet (tells rooomates they either won't accept tenant's pet, or other places are too expensive).

I want this tenant gone at the lease end.
No amount of money would make me want to renew.

While there has not been cause to evict, tenant has been a pain:
- Tenant pays each month, but not on exact due date.
- Tenant damaged property during move in (in the $500 range, deposit was $200 range)
- Tenant's pet caused damage to multiple doors and windows. When discussing (telling tenant that damage must stop), tenant raised voice and used profanity, refusing to crate or resolve pet damage problem. After another pet incident on another day, tenant again used profanity. This time, I told tenant that I can't be responsible for the pet. The pet needs to stay in tenant's room/area of house, and that using that language is not appropriate. Tenant was told to find a way to stop the pet damage or find another place to live. Tenant tried to bring up personal attacks, like "you're inconsiderate." My response was that if you're not happy here, you don't have to stay.. but if you stay, the pet damage has got to stop.
- Tenant is messy and does not participate in agreed "roommates take turns cleaning"
- Tenant is loud late at night in shared common areas
- Tenant has had excessive houseguests stay here (more than a month's worth in less than a year)
- Basically, tenant has had a bad attitude the whole time, as well as causing damage. I wish to minimize damage that this tenant might do out of spite, and get this tenant out after their lease is over.

Do I give 60 days notice that I will not renew lease and to vacate by lease end?

For future reference, should I have evicted (could I?) How do you handle immature tenant's who use profanity and raise their voice to you? Do you allow them to stay?
