Of course you can. Unless of course you haven't been doing your job as a landlord.

Yes you can terminate. It would help you case alot if you had a signed lease. Nevertheless, you will have to go to the county court house to file the actual eviction process. Start keeping a log about what is going on between you and the tenants. It will be a big pain the butt, but you gotta do what's best for you because you already know the tenant isn't going to.
Good Luck and Peace

Contact your local courthouse to find out the laws in your area. If you can talk with the people and find out the cause, they may just be having a hard time. Sometimes, if you work with them, they can turn out to be good tenants.
If this is an ongoing issue, you have to have documentation to prove it. It will take some time, but you have legal recourse.

depends on the state.
in Rhode Island, the tenant must miss 3 consecutive rent payments before you can begin eviction proceedings.

One would think that a landlord of merit would already know these things. Most of this, afterall, should be spelled out in the lease agreement (assuming you have one). If not, you'll need to check your state law for the timeframes involved.

Yes, you can, and the filing can begin as soon as the rent is deemed "late" or "unpaid" by the terms of the lease agreement (most agreements have a small grace period, such as three or five days)

yes you can take them to court I have been in the same situation once your tenant has to be vehind a month's rent in order to take them to court. so lets say you want the rent on the 5th of jan and its now feb 5 you can legally take them to court . you have to have a signed lease by the tenant with all details of the home (location, what they promised to pay, there signature, day rent it due and all that stuff) go to your locoal court and tell them you want to start the process to evict your tenant they will serve you with court papers and you then will serve them to your tenant.

Give them a three day notice to pay or quit, one on door , one certified, one for yourself, if they do not pay give a three day notice to vacate, same way. If they do not vacate turn over to attorney for eviction. This process can vary from state to state.

absolutely. when you sign the lease, your agreeing to pay a certain amount on a certain day. pretty much your breeching a contract. it could take up to 3 months to evict someone.
