If a landlord rents to the wrong person in this day and age then they will lose there shirt. Most landlords are going to wait at least a month before even trying to evict someone. Then they have to get a lawyer and maybe pay him $1000.00 or more, and give a 30 day eviction. If the person is on public assistance then they get a team of lawyers for free that you have to pay your lawyer to fight a bunch of frivolous stuff that they make up. Even if they just ignore the 30 day eviction then you have to go to court to get if enforced and judge will give them some more time. In the mean time the tenant retaliates by vandalizing your property. Maybe even calling the health department and claiming that the damage they caused is your fault. If they do this early on then you can't evict them because then you will fined for retaliation. In any case you are likely to lose at least 3 months rent, have tons of lawyer fees, retaliation damage to fix. Deviants are protected. Many of them make it a way of life. They are called "Professional Tenants". They go from one place to another doing this.

I lived in a small cottage with a garage for 16 years and had made the garage a work shop. Hard to imagine how I could have gone from receiving a letter to living in a new home in just 30 days.
When I remember just being a guy in an apartment it took me about 2 days to move, even married in a 3 bedroom apt I was fine with a 30 day notice because my living was easily transferable from one apt. to the next.
When people shift to long term house living everything changes, after a very long period of living in a house, it takes a while to get your life and packing in order and find a new suitable dwelling and get everything relocated to that new dwelling.
To me this sounds like a balance could be worked out, such as starting the 60 day notice after 3 years for apts. and 18 months for houses, that would eliminate the worst of the problems.
I spent a few years in the apt. business in maintenance, then management, so I know full well the horror stories, and can tell you many.

Ah heck, since we want to make LAW...
Make it a year!
No...make it 2 years...
Wait...3 years is even better.
Yep, that is why we elected them to government!
I remember when 10 days notice was sufficient.

Anything over 30 days is nonsense. No landlord wants a turnover of tenants. That's a money loser - money to repaint and clean; some loss of rent; etc. Most will give a longer notice if a conversion is planned, but a 30 day notice is most often (I do not say always) used for a problem tenant - one who is a public nuisance or doesn't pay rent, for example.

I had to evict a tennant recently. Talk about a nightmare. And the damage done to the unit was another story. On little tidbit....they filled the refrigerator with food and unplugged it 2 to 3 weeks before they left.
