Hello Nina. This situation is governed by Landlord-Tenant law. May I ask where you are located? The specific laws can vary by location.

Hello Nina. In Texas, you can:
- Give a *-day notice to vacate before filing an eviction suit.
- File an eviction suit in your local justice court.
Please seek legal advice before proceeding.
ok so if I sold the camper and given proper notice they agreed apon they are hold overs can I sell the camper
Hello Nina. In Texas, if a tenant has overstayed their notice period, they become "holdover" tenants. But, selling the camper they're occupying could potentially complicate matters. Here's what you can do:
- Give written notice to vacate
- If they don't leave, file an eviction lawsuit
Please consult a local attorney before making any decisions.
I've already filed a notice to vacate
That's a good first step, Nina. Did the occupants receive the notice, and have the three days passed since they received it? This will help determine your next course of action.
and it's past the date on notice. but they agreed 2 months prior to leave
Hello Nina. In Texas, if the notice period has passed and the tenant hasn't left, you can proceed with filing an eviction lawsuit. Please consult a local attorney for further guidance.
