My mother recently passed away. She had a property in California that she was "renting" to a woman and did not require a security deposit and did not have a rental agreement in place. We need to sell the property and advised the renter she needs to vacate the property by 6/30/2025. The woman is requesting a rental agreement. She has only been in the property since August of 2024. What language needs to be used in the rental agreement so that we are following the law to have her out by 6/30/2025 since she has stated she does not want to vacate the property.

I live in Lubbock, Texas, and have family members living in my garage. This was supposed to be a short-term arrangement starting around 1/1/2022. No exact move-out date was ever stated since they’re family and had nowhere else to go. We talked about them staying for a few months, just until they could find jobs and a place to live. It’s been over three years now. They have no full-time jobs, no transportation, and no housing prospects. We originally told them they needed to be out by 05/31/2024. We pushed that date multiple times: to 08/31/2024, then to 11/30/2024, then to 12/31/2024 due to the holidays, and again to 03/17/2024 during spring break. They ignored every deadline and said we’d have to go through eviction if we wanted them gone. We finally told them they need to be out by 05/31/2025, and that anything left behind after that will be removed on 06/01/2025.

I am in Colorado and a hairstylist that has my own salon I am currently going to hire a booth renter to work in her station full-time and she’s paying 250 a week and I am wondering what the rules are for me to charge a security deposit and how I need to word that in my Lease so that I am covered and so that this person will be required to pay a security deposit.

I made an agreement with my cousin to rent my home to them in 2023. I have decided due to non-payment that they need to quit and be evicted from the apartment. Due to the lease not being resigned in 2024, it is now on a month to month basis. Does the non-payment still apply for this? They are essentially 5.5 months behind based on payments made vs what is owed.
