I was asking because I didn't know the proper procedure.  

It is specific as to requirements and procedures for both parties.

It depends on the state laws and the county procedures on how they interpret the state laws. 

If so, what document do you use to do so and what is the procedure?  

From what I understand, the procedure is to give a notice to pay rent or quit, give the tenant 7 days to pay in full, and not accept any partial payments.

I found something interesting today.On this page - http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/missouri-termination-nonpayment-rent-other-rent-rules.html I read this paragraph:"Missouri State Laws on Termination for Nonpayment of RentStates set specific rules and procedures for ending a tenancy when a tenant has not paid the rent.

This is normally done using a written bid procedure.

Thanks...I am off to a great start then, as I just reviewed Wake County's procedure for tax sales. 

You buy a property with whoever was in it at the time....every market has its own procedures for getting them out.  

The reason is that generally the insurance company is able to underwrite each contractor based on their loss history, safety procedures in place, etc.
