I am sorry to hear of this issue. You will want to give them a written notice to vacate, which it sounds like you have (§ Subd. 1a).

If they do not vacate in the notice period, you will then file for an eviction at your local small claims court. You will fill out and file the eviction complaint/petition.

You will then have it served on your tenant. You would be evicting because your tenant is causing these issues for you that you noted above.

The judge will schedule a hearing and determine if your tenant should be evicted.

I understand the situation can be frustrating. Have you served the tenant with any eviction notices yet?

I have sent them an eviction notice to pay or quit.

Are there any specific terms regarding non-payment of rent or purchase options outlined in the lease agreement?

Its a verbal, text message agreement to pay by the first of each month.

Is there anything else the Landlord-Tenant Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your eviction process.

Landlord and tenant are family.

If at anytime you need an attorney to assist you, you can find a local attorney by contacting your local bar association and asking for a referral to one.

You can also contact your local legal aid society as they offer free and low-cost services in these types of cases.

Another good resource is to contact your local law schools as they often have clinics with attorneys that will assist in these types of cases.

My ultimate goal during our conversation is to make sure that you clearly understand the next steps to take in this matter.

Please let me know if you need any clarification on the next steps or have any follow-up questions as I will be very happy to assist you further.
