Lease has expired - Evict or Non Renewal Notice
Hi all -
I'm curious when a lease has expired and you no longer want your tenant to live in the property, is an eviction required or can you just send a letter to move out?
I ask because I am about to buy six SFHs and am planning on placing the tenants on a 90 day trial period before signing new leases. If I find that during that period some of the tenants are slow or do not pay, I wanted to know if I have to formally evict them or just send a letter to move out. All existing leases have already expired.
Thanks,
Ehab

In Ohio, I must give a 30 day notice that the month-to-month lease is ending. If he stays past the end date, I refuse their rent and post a 3 day notice to vacate. Then I file the eviction.
