I need to know if the eviction process is still the same if there is no written agreement instead only a verbal agreement and the tenant refuses to move out. If not what should be done about getting them out of the house?

Yes - without a written agreement the default goes to a 30 day month to month agreement. The rules about eviction would apply the same as the regular month to month agreements.

The process for eviction is the same whether you have a verbal agreement or a lease. The only difference between the two is your right to move at the end of each month.
The law is the same and will not care if you had written lease or not.

An agreement is an agreement. Verbally one is as committed to following through with it as they are with a written one. You could contact your district attorney to check the laws in your state, but almost always, your word is still your bond. Good Luck

The answer you received from dinosf is right. If there is no written agreement, and if the tenant pays rent monthly, then they are on a month-to-month tenancy. You have to send them the same written notices as if they had a written lease. If they still don't leave you have to file a lawsuit for eviction.
Go to http://realestate.findlaw.com/landlord to read about terminating tenancies in general. Then click on the Resources link to see if there is any information available there for your specific state.

If there is no written agreement, then the renter is trespassing if you no longer want them to live there. (Depending on your state) If they are not trespassing then eviction follows the same path as with a contract.

You got me on this question.
If it is a verbal contract, whey don't you verbally tell them to move out?
