eviction

Our tenant is way behind on their rent. they have been promising to pay but have not made any payment for over a month. We found out that he no longer has his job. We gave them a three day eviction notice, can we change the locks after three days if they decide not to leave?

You still need to do everything legally. Just file the eviction with the court and after the proper time then you can re-claim the property and change the lock.
A verbal contract is a lease so you can do an eviction just as if you went through an actually signed lease.  You will need to send a notice to pay or quit then file the official eviction with the court.
I don't know how to file my eviction with the court to proceed. I sent eviction notices for non payment which were ignored, and they are just squatting there. Thanks in advance. Melanie.

You can evict them for refusing to let you into the property if you have given the proper notice. First step issue a notice to quit and set a move out date. Also let them know that you are filing eviction with the court. You will need to submit a service of notice to the court and must give the tenant the proper amount of time in your state and city. Your court house would know the local regulations. Good Luck and don't expect it to go to smoothly unless all of your ducks are in a row and paperwork is in order.
First step is to make sure that when writing documents your autocorrect is off or at least edited to catch any mistakes. Second you will want to file everything with the court, certain cities have evictions law preventing eviction in winter months and other things like that. Your local court who you will file with will know the law and advice you on the best steps. If they are on a month-to-month basis now start with a 30 day notice and feel a service of notice with the court so that you are ahead of the game. Usually people will move given the time to do so, 30 days is standard.
Yes you can start advertising early. You can even show the property but you must still give the proper 24 hour notice. There is no regulation that you cannot have access to the property and the tenant cannot deny you.
If they have been in the rental for over 30 days, you would have to follow regular Ohio tenant eviction procedure. Which starts with delivering a 3 Day Notice.
It really depends on what it is for, is it for non-payment or for illegal action or for breaking the lease. Depending on your state there are different amounts of time that you must give for each notice.  You can however start an eviction immediately, and when you do you would want to file the with the court that you sent a notice.
Hit send too soon.  You aren't EVICTING them,  you are simply ending the lease.  Eviction is a legal process for a tenant who doesn't pay rent or otherwise is breaking the lease.
In Alaska we use the court form for the 7 day notice to quit for non-payment of rent and then yes once the 7 days are up and they haven't moved you file with the court for a writ to have them removed if needed (usually doesn't get that far).  If it's the end of their lease and you want them out in AK we only have to give them a 30 day non-renewal notice (ezlandlord form non-renewal notice) and then if they are not out at the 30 days then again yes you can file with the court.   Really depends on why you are giving them notice, the state your in, etc.  Our courts have an eviction booklet on line that walks you through the process, maybe your courts have a similar handbook?
Why are you evicting them?
I have a tenant that his payment is overdue on this month, his date payment is on 1day of each month, however, until now no payment have been made by the tenant , I must send the 3 day notice , already I sent the late payment request Thank you  Mario J Santana
Notification to terminate a month to month or at will tenant vary, I'm sure, from state to state. In Florida, the law is a 15 day notice for a monthly lease or whatever is written in your lease. So the above respondent is correct. If your lease says anything about a notice either by tenant or landlord then that would take precedence.
Verbal leases are typically considered 30 day (MTM). Just issue a 20 day pay or vacate. No signed lease required.
