If the tenant has no lease, you are best off terminating the tenant. Depending on the length of time that the tenant has been in occupancy, you will either have to serve a 30, 60 or 90 day notice of termination. Once the notice expires you can start a holover eviction action to remove the tenant and collect the rental arrears owed to you.
