Talk to the tenent first. Tell them you would like the apartment back. Ask them how long they would need to get things together in order to move. If its a reasonable period of time (i.e., less than 3 months) agree to it.
Then, give them a letter stating that the tenancy has ended and that the tenant has agreed to move out by [date]. Get the tenant to countersign the letter and give you a copy. (This will help if they don't move by the specified date and then you have to move to evict.)
Be nice, but not a push-over. Make sure they know the last month's rent is NOT the security deposit. The security deposit should be returned after the apartment is vacant.
You want them them to leave voluntarily because its much better than an eviction. If you evict someone, you may need to hire an attorney, the tenents may stop paying rent, and they may wreck the apartment when they leave.
Hopefully, if the tenant is cooperative, this will be easy. If the tenant is not cooperative, it could take several months to a year to get them out....during which time they probably will refuse to pay rent and it will be very difficult to recover once they are gone.
Good luck.

If it's a "real" lease, then the lease should already have a term saying that the lease expires on a certain date and that the tenant has to be gone, unless the tenant renews the lease in advance, or gets permission to "hold over" in advance.
If the document doesn't say "lease" on the top, you may just have a rental agreement.
If you don't have a written document, you certainly don't have a lease.
If you actually have a "real" lease, read it. There should be a term about what type of notices the landlord gives the tenant, or that the tenant gives the landlord. Look at them carefully. Written notice is the best way to give notice, but the lease may require you to give notice by mail, or even by certified mail.

rules are very certain reckoning on the position you stay. extra liberal factors have a tendency to go with the tenant even although they're typically lifeless incorrect. The employ might want to specify the time period required to furnish be conscious. in case you probably did this then you honestly have the regulation on your area. notwithstanding, some tenants comprehend a thanks to play the game and could stop paying lease because they comprehend it is going to take many months to legally evict them after the employ has expired. you may want to get a criminal professional and be conscious what it takes to get them out in the adventure that they don't go away. regrettably, there are scum bag tenants obtainable that take income of issues and smash ot for others.

In my state when a lease term is up you can file what is called a 30 day no cause or with cause letter. it pretty much gives them 30 days to move back just like the resident can give you 30 days to move out. you can do the same. of course this is if the lease agreement states that you can do so. and it depends on your state. check the tennant land lord laws in your area. that will for sure tell you what you can and cant do.

There is no "best" way. You have to go by the terms of the lease agreement. Send them a letter of nonrenewal 60 days prior to the lease term. You do not have to give them a reason if it is a non renewal. You only have to list a reason if you are ending the lease prior to the end of the term.

Send them a letter, stating today's date and the date that they need to vacate the premises by. Ensure that you are giving them the minimum legally required amount of notice. In many places it's 30 or 60 days notice required, lease or no lease.

If this is the case in India, either you have to pay some amount to them for vacating or hire some agents who will pull them out of house. Notices and court will take years and years in India.

I would give them notice, at least two months, and be honest and respectful and upfront. It's touchy sure but in the end, it's just business, right? I'm sure they'd appreciate the truth more than beating around the bush.
