A landlord who wants to evict a tenant must follow the relevant state and local laws. In most states, a landlord can give an eviction notice for a tenant to move without giving any reason. Under some state laws, the time for such a notice is usually 30 or 60 days, but it may be as short as 20 days or as long as 90 days. In addition, a landlord can’t give this kind of notice to a tenant with a lease until the lease period is over. Please check your state's laws to learn more. Moving forward, please consult a Real Estate attorney to determine the proper course of action.
