How long does a tenant have to move out?

The landlord or the tenant must give at least 14 days’ written notice to end the tenancy.

In some situations, if the tenant’s employment has ended the landlord can give less than 14 days’ notice.

What to do if a tenant disappears from your property?

Can I withhold money from my tenant for cleaning services?

A dirty oven and refrigerator are not necessarily worthy of a charge. However, if the tenant leaves the property trashed and filthy, you could withhold some money for a professional cleaning within reason. Trash, rotting food, and junk are all items that cost money to remove and clean up.
