I have an issue with my tenant. I live in Queens, NY. My tenant lease was expired on 3/02. I gave her a letter two months prior to her renewal date, letting her know that her lease would be renewed on such date and there will be a rent increase. She came to me and told me that she would not be renewing her lease because she needs a bigger place. She went on to ask me if I can give her a few months until she gets somewhere. The verbal agreement was that I would have her continue to pay the rent as the old lease with the intention that she gets another apartment in a few months. Her rent is never paid on time and everytime I do go to collect my rent its always a different story. My rent is due on the 1st, but I do not get it until most times 10 to 14 days later. Up till now she has not said anything to me about when she is going to move out. I need my apartment and I want to know what is the right way of going about asking her to leave. It's been four months now and I just want her to leave.
Please advise.
