Individuals who have stayed on your property for a significant period, even without written consent, may be considered tenants. To proceed with eviction: 1. Provide a written notice to vacate, giving them a reasonable time to leave. 2. If they do not leave after this period, you can start a legal eviction process in your local housing court.

They have overstayed there welcome and i would like to evict them. As previously stated they have no legal ties to the property such as: not paying any sort of property tax, no monetary contribution to the property, and no written consent forms to stay on my property. what should I consider them?: Squatters?, Tenants?, Tresspassers?, and how should I proceed with eviction
