In case anybody argues with you, the statute is Section 40-10-74, which says: "Any purchaser of lands at a tax sale other than the state or anyone claiming under him shall be entitled to possession of said lands immediately upon receipt of certificate of sale from the tax collector; and, if possession is not surrendered within six months after demand therefor is made by said purchaser or his assignee, the said purchaser or his assignee may maintain an action in ejectment or a statutory real action in the nature of ejectment, or other proper remedy for the recovery of the possession of the lands purchased at such sales and shall be entitled to hold the possession thereof on recovery,"You cannot just throw people out on the street.  

Subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event the Tenant is adjudicated as bankrupt, (or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors), this Lease, at the option of the Landlord, shall terminate upon 30 days written notice and the Dwelling Unit shall be surrendered to the Landlord, who reserves the right to repossess the Dwelling Unit subject to the applicable provisions of law.Should I follow the steps on the contract?

Instead, it usually requires voluntary surrender by the owner, or a successful ejectment lawsuit suit.

Never quit, never die, never surrender!!!!

He surrendered to them, handed over his foreign passport, and posted bail.

For ex, You can use the cash value in the policy, pay yourself back w/ the rental income, lump sum when you sell, surrender the policy.

Here, a tenant has not legally surrendered the unit until they hand over the keys to you, despite your contract with them being expired.  

Just type some type of letter reminding them of the last day when they have to surrender the keys.

I would charge them rent for the entire month of February if they were not out.In the future, consider a lease clause like this:TENANT HOLDOVER: If you or any occupants that were allowed access by you remain in possession of the Premises after the termination of this lease, you agree to pay a holdover fee at the daily rental rate (current monthly rent divided by 30) plus $10 for each day the rental unit is not legally surrendered.

I know in Colorado 91 days notice of date to surrender unit  is required to terminate lease if any notice is required by lease.
