Chapter 7: Ending Rental Tenancies

You should know and understand the following points covered within this chapter:

When ending a month-to-month rental agreement, you should allow your tenant 30 days.
When a lease is about to expire, you should provide the tenant with written notice at least 60 days prior to the lease expiration date.
Most states require that you return the security deposit to the tenant within 14 to 30 days after the tenant leaves the unit.
To avoid the eviction process, try mediation, use arbitration and/or make it easy for the tenant to leave voluntarily.
The first step involved in conducting an eviction is to serve notice.
