Infighting amongst tennant - how to handle?

[Stephen Sun]

Hello All,

I have a family who has rented a house from me. Mom signed the lease with me directly and has named her adult sons and daughter-in-law as named persons living in the residence. They have been living there for about a year and a half, and I converted the lease to a month to month contract after 1 year.

Mom and oldest son have gotten into an argument with each other. The tennant called to request to remove the Son and Daugther-in-law as named persons living in the residence and would want to have them move out by End of October. Daugther-in-law called me to say that the Mom cannot legally kick them out since they are on the lease - I tend to think otherwise because the contract is month to month, and only the mom is financially liable on the contract. I will wait a few days to see if they recconcile.

Question - If mom decides to move forward with removing the son/daugther in law - How many days notice should I give them to move out (30 or 60). Are there any other steps I Should be taking other than a written notification to the son/daughter-in-law?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Many thanks again for your time and input.

Best Regards,

Stephen

Who signed the lease? Mother only? Or mother AND her grown-up kids? if mother was the applicant and the only lease signee, I'd re-write the lease agreement with her (remove the kids' names) and let HER deal with who is moving where and when.

PS Looks like you've been getting calls from both sides - Don't get caught in between!
