Terminating a lease

[Bill H.]

Hello All,

I bought a property about 18 months ago with an existing tenant. I screened her and decided to keep her. She's consistently paid slow, but she's never been more than 2 weeks late...until now. I've lost my patience with her due to the late rent and lack of communication. But I want to make sure I handle the lease termination as efficiently as property.

She hasn't paid September's rent. I mailed her a late notice on Sept. 10 and she's on a MONTH TO MONTH lease. How much notice do I have to give her from this point to terminate the lease? I'm in Maryland.

I appreciate the help and I absolutely believe Bigger Pockets is, by far, the best resource for RE investors!
