Give them an eviction notice and if they still refuse then have the local sherriff remove them, forcefully if necessary.

Without a written lease is it a month to month lease?
No, without a written lease, the landlord can only evict the same as a month to month lease agreement (30 days) but the protections to the tenant and landlord are not stated.
Can the landlord change terms of the original lease after the lease becomes a month to month?
Yes, assuming the tenant is given proper notice, which on a month to month lease is typically 30 days.
If a tenant breaks his lease and writes last month's rent on his check if it is deposited is the tenant no longer responsible for the remaining months on the lease?
He is responsible for the remaining months. Neither party can terminate unilaterally - they have to agree. However, after the tenant leaves, the landlord has a responsibility to try to rent the unit.
What happens to a lease if the tenant goes to hospice care?
I'm no lawyer but...here is my understanding of the situation. While the tenant is alive, they (or the person legally acting for them) are responsible for the financial obligations and the lease is in force. If the tenant is not returning, you should consider terminating the lease and moving out. If it is a month-to-month lease, this part is easy. If it is a fixed-term lease, investigate whether the landlord will agree to terminating the lease early.
Can a landlord keep a tenants securtity deposit even if the tenant never signed a lease and never moved into the property?
Was the lease supposed to be a month-to-month lease or for a year or longer?
If a landlord is stalling on renewing lease what are tenants rights?
Generally none. If the tenant continues in possession once the lease term has expired he would be deemed a tenant at will, or a month-to-month tenant (if the rent is paid monthly) or a week-to-week tenant (if the rent is paid weekly). The frequency of rent payments determines whether the tenant is month to month or week to week, and also the notice the landlord must give before requiring the tenant to move. If its month to month the landlord must generally give one weeks notice to quit if he wants the tenants out. If you would feel more secure with a lease you might have to move. Many people never sign a lease after the first one expires and continue on a month to month basis.
One month into lease one co-tenant moves out does this void the original lease?
Of course not. A lease is a legal contract that is enforceable in court. Moving out doesn't terminate the lease. When you sign a lease you are responsible for the full duration of the lease. You may need to sue your co-tenant. You should consult with an attorney or with a landlord-tenant agency in your town.
Is it legal to enter into a lease with a new tenant before the old tenant completes the existing lease?
In general, you can grant a lease whenever you like, but the lease can't begin until after the existing one expires. You must take care to give the required notice to the old tenant, otherwise the lease will probably automatically become a month-to-month tenancy. Caution. This answer is for residential properties; rules for commercial properties vary from place to place.
a tenant formerly is given a lease to sign...waits to sign actual lease until 3 months later...Landlord is stil accepting rent without question, month to month... The tenant finally signs lease 3 months later...what point is the lease agreement in effect?
Lease is valid as of the date on the document. The month-to-month deal was an arrangement outside the legal confines of the lease agreement. A point should be made that the lease agreement supercedes all other informal agreements regarding the rented property.
What about if there is no lease agreement?
Then the Tenant is considered a month to month renter. The Landlord or Tenant may change any terms of the deal with at least 6 months notice to either party.
Can a landlord sue for future rent in Maryland?
Yes, a landlord in Maryland can sue for future rent if the tenant breaks the lease agreement. However, the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages by making reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. If the landlord finds a new tenant, the tenant who broke the lease agreement will only be responsible for the rent until the new tenant moves in.
How much notice does a tenant have to get rid of a pet?
If the pet is included on the lease then the landlord cannot give the tenant such an order until the lease term expires. If this is a month-to-month tenancy then the landlord has to give the tenant a 30 day notice of such before the next rent is due.
