Tenant Stopped Paying Near End of Lease

[Ken Musial]

Hey all. I have a unique situation, for me anyways, that I'd like some advice on. I have a tenant whose lease expires on Feb 29th. He has expressed a desire to renew but is now over a month late in rent. Obliviously, I will not be renewing the lease but must give a 30 day notice, per VA regulations. The question now is, do I just end the lease and get him out, or do I follow through with the eviction process? Has anyone ever successfully did both of these at the same time? Can a 30-day termination notice and a 5-day pay or quit notice can work hand-in-hand.

Thanks,

Ken
