A: I'm assuming you contacted the tenant with a written notice. If the tenant fails to move out when the lease is up, you will have to sue to evict the tenant.

A: If the tenant fails to move out after the lease terminates on 11/9, then you should file an action to evict a holdover tenant. You should consult with a landlord/tenant attorney on the specifics and to ensure that you have complied with all the prerequisites. All the best.

A: If they are not gone on 11/10 then you serve the proper notice and evict. Retain a lawyer as eviction is not a DIY job.
