Landlord-Tenant eviction question?

I served a notice to quit for tenant to leave by end of september but I accepted the month by month oral rent for October. Can I serve a second notice to quit for end of October or would it conflict with the first one or cause the eviction process to complicate?

Thanks for your help!

    Your oral statement won't help you. Technically, an oral statement CAN'T modify a written contract. I believe a 'notice to quit' requires 30 days notice (laws vary depending on what COUNTRY you are in, and sometimes within a country). I suggest you proceed as if they had a normal month to month rental and start the eviction process from the beginning. I am fairly certain that approach is legal everywhere.
