Answer:
Generally without a lease agreement, Tenant A is a month-to-month tenant, and in some jurisdictions, Landlord A can terminate the agreement on 30 days notice and then evict Tenant A unless there is a local housing ordinance or illegal discrimination. However, Landlord A must submit written notice to Tenant A before legal actions to evict may be commenced.
