Tenants not giving notice to stay or vacate

[Tim Hulme]

Hi everyone,

I have a rental unit that has a yearly lease coming up for renewal end of July. They were supposed to give 30 days notice they wanted out, otherwise it auto renews.. There were 3 tenants, one of which said they wanted out.  The other two have communicated they want to stay and are looking for a 3rd roomate.  I basically explained to them, that with one of them leaving, the old lease agreement would become null and that we need a new lease made up.  But they seem to be having difficulty finding a roomate and don’t want a new lease made with just the two of them on it.  It seems like they are pushing to go month-to-month even though that option was never given to them. They have always paid the rent but each individual paid 1/3 the total.  Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any advice on what I should do if they don’t move out, pay next month but don’t sign a new lease?

Thanks,

Tim
