depnds on their lease contract. I think Texas requires at least 30 days notice.

Unlike some of the other people who have responded to this question, I am a practicing attorney and I actually have experience helping client with exactly this type of situation.\n\nThe exact procedures vary from state to state, so you should find a location attorney who handles eviction lawsuits.  You won't be able to call the police because this is a civil matter.  \n\nTypically you must give the person a notice to vacate, not unlike you might give to a renter at the end of a lease.  If they do not vacate, you need to file and eviction lawsuit. Eventually, you should be able to get a judgment for the possession of the property.  In most states, you would then get a writ of possession which then authorizes local law enforcement to remove the squatters from the property.

don't let them move in until you get the deposit\n\nif you already let them in, well, shame on you!  It will be that much harder to get them out.\n\nIf they don't pay you, start the proceedings for eviction for breach of contract - they haven't paid a deposit and they have a pet - that is a breach

Assuming your evicting the non-paying tenants through the court system! When you have finished the eviction process, there is a default judgement recorded in your county. The credit reporting agencies obtain this information, at least once a week, and thus it appears on their credit report, as an unlawful detainer action. If you ever see this on a prospective tenants report....don't even consider renting to this person, as he did not value himself enough, and took the risk of subjecting his credit report so negatively....It also shows that this person coct the landlord allot of hassels, and costs of legally evicting this person through the court system....and to make matters worse they probably damaged and left your property a mess on their way out.

Wow!\nGood Question. I live in Texas too so I would suggest that you contact your local Justice of the Peace or Constable and ask them. The J.P. issues the eviction notice and the constable enforces it.\n\n\nWhy are you responsible for this person? I would think since your name is on the lease and you moved--that's the end of it. I would wager that the landlord will have to evict the tenant....but that is just a guess. Contact the J.P or Constable for a definitive answer

I'm sorry to hear of your predicament.  One good thing is that your landlord cannot immediately evict you.  Contact different assistance providers in your area, including the government.  Good luck to you.

This is not a simple question - if you live in the USA, especially. There are laws that cover Security Deposits and Fair Housing Guidelines and to ensure that you have no problems in the future, you need to comply with the Fair Housing law(s) of your State\n\nBoth Landlor and Tenants have rights under this law.\n\nYour tenant, for example, has the right to request/expect (and should be done) that the landlord conduct a walk-through of the rental unit time (1 or 2 weeks, depends on your laws and contract) prior to the official termination of the tenancy contract.  It is thru the walk-thru that you tell the renter if you will withhold any of his/her deposit  if repairs or cleaning are not performed by tenant.  After removing all personal property, the tenant can again request a final walk-thru wiht the landor to ensure thatll obligations have been fulfilled.  Accdg to your contract and laws, you have a certain number of days after vacating the place the landlord (you) has to  mail the renter the deposit or an itemized statement of any deductions taken out y the landlord.  If more than a certain amount of witholding is kept (limits by State law) by the landlord, you are required to accompany the itemization with copies of the receipts and documents showing the charges deducted.  There are other 'time limitations' but again depends on the State.I believe, but I can't remember, that the tenant can waive receipt of these documents.  There is other little things that you need to ensure you do to ensure that this tenant doesn't come back and bite you in small claims court.\n\nThe Letter can be simple:\n\nLetter to (legal/full name of tenant as in contract) and address he provides you.\n\nSubject: describe here the rental property (full legal address, unit number and renter name)-Rental Dates to-from\n\nDear Mr XXXX\n\nOn date you notified me that you would vacate the xxxxxxxx property.  We inspected (if you did) the xxxxx on date and xxxxxx date.  \n\nNo damages where found or damages where found as follows\n\nand consequently repairs had to be made for a total cost of $$ receipts and description of work done are enclosed.\n\nFinal walk thru was made on xxxx. This letter confirms that All your personal property has been removed from the property.\n\nSincerely,\n\nyour name\naddress\n\n\n____________\nLetter received by (name of tenant and date)  \n\nnote: make sure that you have the tenant sign receipt of letter and date it.

Eviction rules and laws vary from state to state.  The landlord must abide by the rules of the lease (if you have one) and the laws of the state in which the building is located.\n\nCheck the Family Court / eviction rules from the department of state site for your state and contact the authorities if you wish to contest the eviction.

Each state has very specific steps to follow...You can't evict until you get an Eviction Order/Judgment from the Court.  You have to get a hearing, then you have to serve notice of the hearing (via process server) and then you get the hearing.\n\nThen if they don't leave, you have the constable execute the Order, if they don't leave -- the constable calls the police to enforce it.\n\nYou should google your state and landlord/tenant laws to make sure you follow the steps correctly.  If you make a procedurial error, the whole clock has to start over again.\n\nDon't be intimidated though, I evicted my tenant in 20 days start to finish all by myself - I created the Notices on Word and got the Arizona landlord's handbook.\n\nThe key is to start the legal clock ASAP.  It cost me about $200 altogether and I requested that amount in addition to the back rent and late fees.

Give your tenant written notice that the tenancy has ended, ie "You are hereby notified that your lease/tenancy has ended. Please vacate the property."\n\nOffer your tenant the full return of any security deposit or some other amount of money; it will be less than hiring an attorney to evict your tenant. Then, let your tenant know that if he leaves the property without going through an eviction, he will not have an eviction on his credit report. It is much harder for someone to get an apartment if an eviction is reported on their credit, so let your tenant know that.

Go to the RRA... Renters Rights Association. They will handle it! They eat that kinda crap up... I know cuz I have been an apartment manager b4 and the owners where total asses... there was so many things i couldnt do after the tentants were promised things by the owners then went back on em... good luck

All things are negotiable. Here's how I would do it to benefit everyone involved:\n\n1. Create two seperate contracts, one a standard lease agreement and the other an assignable purchase option agreement.\n\n2. In the lease, have the tennant pay for all utilities and have them in his/her name. \n\n3. Create an assiganble purchase option contract, so that the tennant (now called Optionee) can purchase the property within a two year period of a stated price. Now, depending on the rent of the first contract, I would modify the price here. Also, depending on the rent on the first contract, I would modify the non-refunable option fee. You want to keep this contract as an assignable contract in order to allow the tennant to assign it to another person (like his brother) if he is unable to purchase the property because his credit is still bad or whatever. \n\nIt's also important to keep these as two seperate contracts because if the tennant fails to pay, you can simply evict him. In a lease purchase option contract, depending on the terms, you will need to do more than just evict him because the tennant's interest in the property is more than a regualr tenant. Remember, there is a reason why the banks won't finance this guy. Are you willing to take the risk of doing so when the banks won't?\n\nAs Teran stated, stay away from contracts for deed because then you have to jump through hoops to get rid of this person and avoid your lender at the same time.\n\nRegards

You have to file a case against them for eviction. But you have to give them notice of eviction first...do it on your terms, if they ignore that and are still there after the date you set for eviction, you can file with the courts to have them evicted, in which they have a certain number of days to leave or will be escorted by the police. make sure you have proof that they're late on rent and that there in fact was a rental agreement.

I don't believe that they can evict him, AND require him to pay the balance due on the entire lease, unless the rent was listed as a total yearly amount, on which he was making installments.  I would have him contact an attorney, or Legal Aid to find out what his rights are.  He could always contact the Department of Children and Familes to see if he qualified for some subsidies, but getting the government involved can be risky too.  You have to be willing to let them into your home.

The means to break your lease depend entirely on where you are located. I can tell you about the laws in Wisconsin. Basically there is nothing that gets you completely out of your lease but there are 3 ways to end your lease. \n\nThe first is the easiest, work something out with your landlord. If you both agree to end the lease just have something that you both sign saying so. End of problem.\n\nIf they wont work with you then you can sublet (which is messy and should be avoided if you don't know the people) or you break your lease. To break your lease you send your landlord a letter that says when you are leaving and then clean the apartment like you normally would and move out. At that point the landlord would need to return the extra rent you paid and your deposit. The landlord then needs to try to find a new tenant, but until they do you can be held responsible for the rent. \n\nOnce again this only works for Wisconsin. I would suggest googling "rental rights" and your state to find if there are any agencies that are in your area. \n\nOther tips are to call the local building inspector and see what they can help you with.

Look up the Tenant Association where you live, call them and ask how to file a complaint about him.

The first thing you need to do is talk to them.  Let them know of your plans and give them the option of either buying the home themselves or running the risk of eviction.  Give them options.  Then when you do sell the home, let the new buyers know that you have tenants and give them the option to either keep or get rid of them.  You have to keep open communications with all parties right now.  Also, when you let your tenants know that you are selling, let them also know that people will be coming in to see the house and what your expectations of them are.  Good luck.
