    Whether the lease is verbal or written, doesn't matter. You need to follow the process for your area.

    A lot depends here on whether the tenant is up to date on the rent or not. If he is in arrears, then 5 days after rent was due you can give them a 5 day notice to vacate. If they don't vacate within the 5 days, you have to file for an eviction order in court. A summons is issued which the tenant has 7 days to answer. If they don't then an eviction order is issued.

    If they aren't in arrears then they will be considered a tenant at will:

    44-7-6.
    Where no time is specified for the termination of a tenancy, the law construes it to be a tenancy at will.


    In that case, you may be required to give 60 days notice:

    44-7-7.
    Sixty days´ notice from the landlord or 30 days´ notice from the tenant is necessary to terminate a tenancy at will.
