...I understand typically they need a 30 day written notice, and possibly court if they string it out.
Is there any exception to this rule as the dog is a threat to our child (and their friends son he bit, that the father did not report) to expedite this, if they try to draw it out?
STT Resident: Seems like a straight forward question to me....
Worse part is I appreciate everyone else's feedback and trying to help me with this, but you just can't get over certain parts that aren't being requested to be addressed

I suggest you call the Humane Society TODAY and report that there is an aggressive dog, with a bite history, living in your home and that you allow your small child around it. Not only that, but you've allowed that dog to stay in your home despite the fact that its aggressive and has bitten someone. That should get some things moving right along..........
Procedure is one thing, being stupid is another, kick them out...now. If they can't afford to pay you rent, do you really think they can afford to take you to court?

Filing a case in Small Claims Curt is not expensive. No lawyer needed. If the OP did not follow procedure he could end up with a judgement against him. He is not the one being stupid here.

Yeah, actually he is. His friends are the smarts one because they were able to get free housing for how many months?
anyway, what would they sue him for? The rent they never paid? The deposit they never paid? What exactly would they get out of this? 30 more days in the home? There is no written lease, no receipts showing rents been paid, no receipts showing utilities have been paid, it's one person's word against another.
Yes, we have a handle, unfortunately for you, you are unable to read what the actual question was. Hopefully, one day you will grow up and learn the concept of being "objective".
And hopefully one day you'll grow up and develop the maturity to objectively recognize constructive criticism without reacting rudely to someone much older and wiser than yourself.
If they chose to move out why evict? Unless they are saying that and not doing it. Since they are month to month you do need to give a 30 day notice, sent certified mail with return receipt, or else get them to sign a copy of the notice if they will cooperate. The eviction process starts if they refuse to move out after 30 days. You can't give a 3 day notice on the dog unless you had a previous written agreement that said no pets.
As for the dog being dangerous, I would just keep a baseball bat or other weapon handy and be ready to kill or beat off the dog the next time it attacks. And I say that as a huge dog lover. Dogs that attack children unprovoked do not deserve to live. I don't see a legal way for you to remove the dog from the household without first evicting the owners, a process that can take months. Maybe telling the owners how you intend to protect your child from the dog will encourage them to keep it under control.
I would NOT report it to child protective services. They will say you are keeping your child in an unsafe environment and take YOUR child. They won't do anything about your tenant's dog. Animal control might do something about the dog, but you would need the victim of the dog attack as proof, and it doesn't sound like that is going to happen unless another attack occurs--then it will be too late.
You are not required to give them 30 days notice if they are not current in their rent. Typically it would be 72 hours and if there is a dangerous condition you can typically give a 24 hour notice. I do agree about not calling child services although for different reasons. Check with your local laws but if your information is correct then the "nonpayment of rent" would be the simplest and the most likely to hold up in court
Yes, you need to give evection notice and then you have to file evection with the courts. Visit your local courthouse to file your eviction and pay a fee. After the evection hearing, the tenant will have a set amount of time to leave the property.
If they are violating the lease, you can serve them notice to fix or move (the timeframe varies by state). Otherwise you have to give them 30 days.
