Hello All,

I have a single family condo (PA) currently rented to 3 related tenants on a one year lease ending in Feb. In speaking with one of the tenants it seems things have gone sour with one of the roommates (not paying a fair share) and come March, the two would like to renew without the third. I'm not concerned that the two will be able to pay, but I am concerned about how to go about ensuring that the third roommate will actually vacate as I do not believe he will be happy the other two are continuing onto a new lease without him.

I plan to send a termination of lease notice stating that we will not be renewing or continuing on a month to month and the lease will end Feb 29th, and then signing a new lease with the two roommate beginning March 1st. However, come March 1st if the other roommate hasn't or won't leave what is my responsibility here? Can the tenants who remained on the lease have the other roommate removed or do I have to evict? Can I change the locks on March 1st since I'm giving proper notice of the lease not renewing? what if their things are remaining in the house?

At this point it's all speculation from me as he might agree to leave no problem but I'd like to understand worst case if it come around. Thanks for any input!

Thank you @Caleb Stephens and @Aziz Raji!

I'm a PSU grad myself! PENN STATE!! I've lived in the area since I was young and have loved getting to see it change over the last 15 years. Thank you!

Thanks James!

Yes I just recently found it and will definitely be attending the next meeting. Best of luck on your 6-unit!

Hello all! New BP member but happy to say I discovered the BP podcast a while ago and have spent the last year listening to and reading as much as I could get my hands on. I'm also fairly new to investing located in the York, Pa area. My fiance and I purchased our first house hack back in October and fixed it up (best decision we've ever made!) and are currently under contract for another duplex in York. I am thrilled to be moving forward with real estate investing and working toward generating passive income through buy and hold to ultimately achieve our goal of financial freedom. 

I would be love to talk with some other local investors and will absolutely be attending the local real estate meetups. I'm exciting to be a part of this awesome community! Thank you!
