Do you then rent the property month-to-month until the option is exercised or expired?

Then you can mail or cold call or both.Other cheap or free methods are driving for dollars, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites and bandit signs if allowed.If you have the funds you can use billboards, newspaper ads, other offline publications., TV commercials, radio ads, motivated seller website, SEO, pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online advertising and boosted/promoted social media postings.Bottom line is consistency.

And make sure your new lease, if it has a renewal, only renews on a month to month basis at the expiration, with a 30 day out by either party.

Some other details are also that her lease is expiring at the end of this October month and was planning on moving out then.In my homeowners insurance policy, I do have "Medical payments to others - each person $2500" listed as being covered.

The last transaction 80% down small mortgage(820 fico) the new home national builder's own bank took 7 weeks and still forgot to wire funds after funding it expired had to be extended. 

@Anthony Wick He had a lease, it expired at least a year before we took over...

I have a situation and wanted to get feedback on how to bring up unpaid rent and other things when Tenants are going through a lot..To be precise, I have a tenant who is having a baby, their lease has expired and needs renewal.

I live in California, the annual lease expired 2 years ago and now on month to month lease.Just want to know how exactly you pro get tenants out with minimal fuss.Thanks!

If she if afraid of her husband, that's what divorce attorneys and the court are for - not landlords/owners who have rented to both parties and have a legal obligation to provide access to all tenants.I generally will let them know that I wish them well as the go through this "life adventure" and that I am obligated - as are they - to fulfill the terms of the current lease until expiration.

Then when their current lease expires which is march of next year, then present a new and improved lease.
