I have rented the same place in Oklahoma for the last 6 years. My lease was up in April and the landlord kept promising to show up to resign. Paid rent on the 1st he was to come out the following weekend to renew lease, instead 2days after paying I find a letter saying I have thirty days to move. I have never been late in my 6 years there and have kept up to every part of my lease. Can a landlord for no reason give a thirty day notice to move. And what happens if I don't leave at the end of the 30 days?

If you don't have a written lease then it (most likely) is assumed to revert to month to month and yes, he can ask you to leave giving you a 30 day (one month)notice.

If you fail to leave he can have you evicted.

If not out in 30 days and the landlord goes through the eviction process, what are the procedures taken and how much time to be out. Thirty day notice is just not enough time with 7 horses and six years of living in one place. Is there any way to get more than 30 days after the 30 day notice to move?

If you are being evicted for non-payment in some jurisdictions you can pay to date, the landlord is forced to accept it and then if he/she wants you out he/she has to serve you again for some other reason, extending the time frame.

The other thought is simply going to Court, explain the problem, see if you can get an extension.

A lot depends on the State and, as I said, the reason you are being evicted.

(Sounds like a nightmare of a move!)

Well, the easiest thing to do is make an agreement with your landlord. If that can't be achieved... it actually varies greatly from place to place.

Where are you located?

You'd typically have at least 2 - 3 weeks before the court date comes up. Then if the judge rules for eviction you have another time (around a week or so)before the sherrif issues a final warning. Then they'll usually show up within 24 - 48 hours and escort you off the property while the landlord changes your locks and deals with your stuff. In TX I can do an eviction start - finish in about 3 weeks. I know in some places even a normal eviction w/out delays can take up to 2 months.

So the landlord gave you a 30 day notice to terminate your tenancy? If you can give us anymore details we may be able to provide more accurate advice. Are there troubles between the two of you, or do they want to have access to the property for themselves?

Your lease expired and the landlord decided not to renew. That's his right.

Your best bet is try and negotiate some extra time, tell the landlord you understand you have to move, but need more time to find a comparable place.

P.S. Please don't start a new thread with a follow-up question. Use the Answer this Question or Quick Answer options. I've merged the two threads for you.

When I called the landlord and ask him why the notice, we have never paid late in the six years we have been there his only response was I don't think your husband his a very nice man. I am not sure why he says that. The only thing I can figure his that when people who were interested in purchasing the property asked questions, my husband gave honest answers instead of the lies that are mentioned in the listing of the property which is in Jones, Oklahoma not Edmond as he mentions in his listing.

Doesn't change anything - the landlord wants you out and that is his prerogative.

Hello bird:

Time to play hardball. The written notice must include a complete rental period. Since he gave you notice after the first and after you paid your rent, I would consider the notice to begin to take effect at the END of THIS month, thereby giving you another 30 days.

I'd write him a certified letter telling his this. Send it return receipt requested. Send another copy by regular mail

If your/my interpretation of the law is incorrect, it will take a judge to say so, and by the time you get in front of one, you'll have HAD your 60 days to move, and the judgment will be moot.

As Judy said, once the lease expires, either party can decide not to renew it. For whatever reason, the landlord has decided he wants you out. Unless you can change his mind you have to vacate. The only question is how much time you have to do it.

Ok, sorry but at the end of your lease and no renewal, you can be evicted with proper notice, 30 days is normal. And to be honest you do't want to be evicted, then you will have an official eviction from court on your record if and when you try to rent somewhere else,
