Re: illegal lease

To be safe I would wait 60 days from the date you first gave them notice to be off the property. Then, if they remain on the property past the 60th day, file a dispossessory (eviction) with the magistrate court. If there is no lease agreement between you and them, the court should give you possession of the property.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
