You can give them whatever notice is required by their existing lease to enter, go in or send your pm and take photos to use to compare for your records on move out.

He is unlikely to fight back in court when everyone in the house is against him.When he is served notice, ensure everyone is in the home to witness it and present a unified front.

Every state has different laws regarding a notice to terminate/non renewal of lease.

City recently did a building inspection and we noticed the tenant is smoking in the unit (cigarettes and marijuana), food waste everywhere leading to building pest issues, and there are 5 people living there now (3 adults and 2 kids).

Out of the blue, one of them gave only two weeks' notice via email that he would be moving out at the end of December 2024 -- and he did.

Then I’d list it occupied but I’d give the tenants notice now.

I love the flexibility they offer for traveling professionals, military families, or folks in between moves.My main questions:Have you noticed increased demand for midterm rentals in this area, particularly from military personnel at nearby bases or healthcare workers at local hospitals?

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.

I assumed he would fix it, so I didn't follow up until I received a violation notice from the city for the furnace.

More than 5 days late (or whatever your local laws consider late), give them notice.
