We have an oral agreement for a month to month rental of an apartment I own. I have to evicit my tenants because they cause too much trouble, have damaged the apartment, and are always late with rent. I am writing a formal notice to notify them that they are being evicted but I do not know what to put in the letter- what should I write?

if you have a month to month there is really no contract. usually on a month to month that is what it is, a month to month. if they fail to pay for that month you can give them 30 days in writting to vacate the premises. contact them and present to them a month to month written agreement, you sign it and have them sign it. this is extra protection for you because if they dont pay again you can get them out sooner.

Late rent is just cause but where I live the law is they have two weeks to pay up after recieving the notice. If you have proof that they have damaged the property, you may evict them. Did you do a pre-inspection report? Because you have no written contract it may be tough to get them out. I know there are specific rules on this in my act. If you google landlord and tenant act with your respective location it should turn up the act for you.

I am a landlord. over 20 years.
Go to your local (City) court house and get the "7 day notice to quit" form (for late payment of rent)
or
Give them the "30 Day notice to quit" (from the court)
Pay the fee (small) Mine is under $30.00 & formally file it with the Jurrisdiction right away.
There is space to fill in - why they are being evicted
You don't have to use complete sentences
Be brief, I would emphathise DAMAGE TO PREMISES on your
List reasons
They get 30 Days by law but because you filled it formally the court will order them to move.
You may end up in court if they don't want to move but under the circumstances I don't see any problem for YOU at all
P.S. Save your ink Just do it the easy way like I said because if they could say they never received the letter your word against theirs....but not if the papers have been filled in court!
Where I live you just walk in the Court house and the person at the window will answer your questions and tell you what exactly to fill out.

I'd check with your municipality before you do anything now. With winter coming on it may be more difficult to evict.
There should also be some sort of landlords association or something like that that you can go to for advice as well as a renter's rights organization.
You might also want to contact a lawyer because if you evict them wrongly they can come back and sue you.

Read your states Landlord Tennant law carefully. Leases and contracts don't mean anything, if you gave them a key, and they gave you money, you are subject to Landlord Tennant Law. The eviction process is clearly spelled out and usually takes about 90 days if the tennant contests. It he does, be ready to explain your eviction actions to a judge at a hearing. THAT is all within the law. Read it before you do ANYTHING... attempting to illegally evict a tennant can buy you jail time.

These laws vary greatly from state to state. In some states, you can't evict at all - for any reason. The sherriff has to evict them and they have 30 days and can appeal. In other states, you can evict without any reason or notice. Not sure where to look for state-specific laws, but you might want to get familiar with them first.

you have to be plenty greater specific. It varies reckoning on the place you reside. In maximum places in the U.S., a landlord is meant to grant you minimum 30 days written word. besides the undeniable fact that it relatively is as long as ninety days, or as short as 3 days reckoning on the close by regulations, your suitable circumstances, and why the owner is calling you to bypass away. in many jurisdictions those days, a landlord could have the police evict you immediately in case you have been got here across enticing in criminality on his belongings. And in case you combat an eviction in court docket, the technique can drag on for various months or maybe years reckoning on how effective the housing court docket equipment on your area is and/or how quite some an fool the owner is (a lot of them don't be attentive to their criminal rights or usual jobs).

Are there children? That may make it a bit more difficult.
Just put every name the date the eviction is to take place. Have it signed by a notary.
