Terminating a Lease with a Tenant
My current tenant's lease is up and they were notified we are going month to month, which they accepted. I have decided I want them to move out. When I give the tenant notice, is it okay if we give them some leads on other potential rental properties they can call? Or is doing this a bad idea for some legal reason?
I do want to help make the transition as easy as possible for the tenant, as he is older, not the most tech savvy and on fixed income. He has lived there for many years, smokes in the unit and lives in his own filth watching TV all day. I purchased the property last year. Tenant always pays on time and doesn't ask for much. Fairly good tenant in that regard, but he is paying way under market price and his smoking inside and filth over the 10+ years has made it inhabitable to anyone besides himself. I have decided it would be better to move him out and put money into it to get it fixed up and turn it into a two bedroom apartment.
Looking for any tips on how to make his transition smooth. Thanks in advance.
