Any way to confirm if tenants are paying rent before buying?

[Bobby Dini]

I am about to have a duplex under contract as non owner occupied and I am curious if there is any way to determine if the current tenants who are under individual lease agreements are current on their rent payments. The fear is purchasing the property, and having to immediately go through the eviction process (or lack thereof).

I am, of course, going to ask the question to the seller but want to get some feedback from others who may have gone through this already or are currently.
