Non-renewal vs Eviction

[Amanda Thompson]

We have tenants who haven't paid rent this month (it's now the 10th). We just took over property management duties of all our own properties at the very beginning of the month, which was a surprise to everyone when the other PM dumped it on us.

They are on month to month lease. So, if they do pay rent now, we still do not want to renew the lease.

Do I have to give 30 days notice not to renew? So in essence, they can stay there until October 1st because it's less than 30 days to Sept 1? I think if they continue to not pay rent then it won't matter because eviction proceedings will take priority, right?
