If you don't think that's unlawful and unconstitutional you need to remember what country you are in.As my very liberal attorney said, "It's the first time in US history that I can think of that the US Government entered into a legal, two party, private contract and changed the terms.

The VRLTA has specific terms out lined for when there is no lease in place.  3) If/when they don't leave, file an Unlawful Detainer for holdover.

They only states that makes sense to do this, are states like California where they have ruined the rental business by stipulating to me crazy laws that make it unfair to the businesses and almost impossible to evict someone.Most states are 30 day notice, so files for a  unlawful detainer with a judgment, then in court tell the judge they are month to month.

I'm looking for Unlawful Detainer and it's super easy to just scan down the list (I have a county court and a city court, in a smaller location so there aren't many hearings each day.)

An eviction (unlawful detainer action) would only need to be done if they refused to move out pursuant to your notice to end the tenancy.

You are not unlawfully denying the tenancy and you are not unlawfully charging increase rents. 

Tenant is just receiving Summons and Complaint, now has 5 days to respond to Unlawful Detainer Complaint for nonpayment of rent. 

This means if you give notice on the March 28th, or even March 5th, they will have till the end of April to vacate the property before they are unlawfully staying as an holdover.This is simply because the lease ("contract") has terminated, thus they are without a contract, so the laws of the land ("Land Lord Tenant Act") are now in affect.In the event of a court case, the judge may enforce some of the speciality items in the lease (lawn care, legal fees, no modifying the property, HOA rules, etc), but everything else will fall under the month-to-month laws.This all said, tenants normally read the lease at face value vs knowing the law, so if they see the 60 day notice, or the lease says they have to sacrifice two chickens and a goat to terminate the lease, they will likely just do whatever the lease says, thus why the courts treat business as educated and give some lead-way to tenants in most cases.I'm not an attorney, and my posts are for entertainment only.

If they won't move, give them cash to move or file an unlawful detainer.

It could well be viewed as an unlawful entry and get him in hot water.
