Impact on non-renewal of month-to-month

[Phillip Rosin]

I'm trying to determine whether the new rules regarding tenants will impact my ability to not renew month-to-month leases. 

I should be closing next week and have been under contract since before most of this craziness started. Two duplexes, each with month-to-month tenants in Clearwater, FL. The plan has been to progressively not renew the leases; since they are under market rent and the units need to be renovated. I'm wondering two things: 

1. Will I run into any issues when I try to not renew and get them out? 

2. How much notice is required? I'm not sure if it is 30 or 45 days. 

Thank you.

Hey Phillip,

What do the current leases say about notice? Usually 30-45 days is typical. If there's no lease you may have to look at the state guidelines. 

As far as issues, there wouldn't be any problems in Texas unless the tenants decide not to move-out and you have to evict them. Then you may be in a several month battle over your property.
