I am in need of an eviction attorney that serves Beaver County, PA.  Thanks

@Artem Kovalevskiy They are currently in default of their lease for non payment of rent.  Couldn't I serve them with a 10 day pay or quit thus forcing them to pay and/or allowing me to start eviction process?    I wasn't sure if a 30 day notice was required as they have been there for 2 years now.

@Artem Kovalevskiy no they are currently in a one year lease that auto coverts to month to month as of Oct. 1.

So I have tenants that are habitually late with paying rent and I worked with them for a few months until this month they are late and unwilling to communicate.  After last month's late rent I had them agree to not renewing the lease (auto converts to month-to-month) and had them sign an agreement that they understood this and would move out by that time which is Sep. 30th.     Now fast forward to now and they are not paying and also not communicating as no surprise to me.    My question is:  what is the best way to handle this situation?   They are in their second year of tenancy and I want to serve them notice to quit but am unsure which notice and timeline to impose on this.   Also, I would not want to allow the option for them to 'pay' or quit and just want to 'quit' and get them out.  Also, Can I get away with a 10 day notice since it is for non payment but they are in second year of tenancy or do they get 30 days?   Any input appreciated.  Thanks!

I have no concerns regarding disclosing this. I just want to make sure I am staying within legal bounds.  Then beyond that, I wasn't sure if verbal disclosure would suffice or if I should have something in writing and have the tenants/applicants sign stating they understand that.  

So I recently became a licensed realtor in PA.  I have existing rental properties and for the first time am about to execute a new lease with new tenants.   I was pretty certain that I have to disclose to my new tenants before lease signing that I am a licensed realtor.. which brought up the question of is there a general form commonly used for this?  Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

I had this done last year on a single family and paid $1,600.  30 ft. line about 5-6 feet deep.  I had three bids ranging from $1600 to $3200.
