Terminating Month to Month Lease

[Shawn Burns]

Hello BP,

I am a rookie landlord looking for some advice. In about a month I plan on closing on a duplex which I am going to use as a house hack. Both units are occupied with tenants on month to month leases and I want to move into the upstairs unit since it need some rehab work.

How and when should I communicate with that tenant that I will not be renewing her lease?

Thanks for the help!
