End of Lease but can't evict

[Lee Perry]

All i have heard about is the conversation about you can't evict for non payment because of covid-19, but what about at the end of the lease and i was to give them 30 days notice. So eventhough they are not current and i wanted them to leave what would happen? If they decided not to leave what would happen?

It's my (limited) understanding that you can still file for an eviction currently. It's just that the courts are not prosessing them at this time. So when the moratorium is lifted, it will set off the avalanch of backlogged cases.

Anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

if that is true than I'd say if they're already behind on rent start the eviction process right away to mitigate lost time when eviction deluge hits.
