For real? First of all, you don't state where you are from, laws vary by location. Who is the rent board? Are you in a rent control area? As long as you did not have tenant sign a fixed term lease, all you have to do is give them a notice to vacate, term would determin by your State law, wether it's a 15 day, 30 day, 45 or 60 day notice to vacate. No reason needed for that notice. You can check the landlord/tenant laws on this site at the right of the screen.

We have given her two 60 day notices to move out. The first time she said she didn't need to move because she still had two months left of paying 533.33. I went to the Rent Board and was told this was true. After the two months were up I gave her another notice to move because I was going to sell the house and went to the Rent Board to let them know I had done this. A guy name Keith said it was not a good reason for them to move and I also had to go to a lawyer to handle the eviction. I had consulted a lawyer previously regarding an eviction and they charge $1,500. I live in Oakland, CA and they have all kinds of laws to protect the tenants. One lawyer I spoke to said Alameda County was tenant friendly, and with everything this tenant has put us through I would say that is definately an understatement.
