Notice to Vacate - Is 30 days enough?

[Michael Leeson]

Just closed on duplex #1!  Inherited renter needs to go, but the existing lease doesn't length of time for a notice to vacate.  What is best practice?  Is 30 days sufficient?

Thanks in advance for any input!

30-60 days is what I generally see here in Texas (for tenants in good standing).

IF you are evicting the tenant (due to non-payment, disturbance, etc...) your state SHOULD have laws on the books. Here is an example for Texas (which indicates 3days as the eviction period, plus more if they contest it).

Hope this helps. Good luck :)
