Help Needed! Eviction process may extend past property management agreement date

[Tyreek King-El]

Hey Team, quick questions for you all. I have been under property management for one of my units for the past two years, and planned to self manage at the end of our contract term. The end of my term is in the beginning of March, but the process has begun for eviction against the current tenants. I anticipate that it will (and would like to plan for it to) extend beyond the contract date for property management.

What should I do in this situation? Do I take over the rest of the process? Does the property management take it over? Should I negotiate some sort of payout over the next few months, to handle the eviction? Thank you all

@Tyreek King-El Ideally you would want it be as 'clean' as possible. Meaning you would want to have management handle the entire eviction until the very end or you will want to take it over now before they get too far along in the process. Something to keep in mind however is that your choices may be limited depending on weather your PMC filed for eviction as 'them vs. tenant' (which is quite likely how it is now), if so, then you will have two choices: 1) You will have to let them handle eviction until the end OR 2) you will have to re-file for evition as 'you vs. tenant'. 

You mentioned that the eviction process 'has begun' so, you should contact your attorney (preferrably the one you will use) and double tap and verify that what I said is accurate and if so, then go ahead and re-file for eviction NOW as 'you vs. tenant' --- of course you will need to let your PMC know before you do that, to keep them in the loop. I hope this helps, it's always nice to be able to assist another service member; I sent you a DM on BP -- if you are able to assist I would greatly appreciate it.
