RE: refuses to renew

If there is no signed lease, then the vacancy automatically resorts to MTM. If you want to put him on a lease and he refuses and you want him gone, then you have to do two things. 1. Issue a 30 day notice to vacate. 2. STOP collecting all rent. You must REFUSE all payments until the eviction process has run it's course.

RE: refuses to renew

I usually raise my rent $25 dollars every year to keep up with increased costs. If a tenant doesn't want to sign a new one year lease and wants to go month to month. I'd raise it $100-200. I do have a auto renew clause in the lease so they'd have to let me know 60 days before the end of the lease that they are not renewing for another year.
