Landlord Termination
Landlord termination is a type of eviction that is based on the lease having ended, rather than a violation of the lease. When a lease is agreed on a month to month basis or when the duration of the lease ends, many leases will be automatically renewed, either with new terms or with the terms of the previous lease. According to most leases, either landlord or tenant are allowed to stop leasing at the end of any agreement, conditional on them providing the proper notice. For landlords, this is done by means of a landlord termination. To terminate the lease, the landlord is required to provide adequate notice ヨ 30 days if the tenancy was less than a year, or 60 days if it were longer. If the tenant does not leave by the end of the term, the landlord can file for an eviction in court to forcefully remove the tenant.
