How to deal with stubborn tenants?

[Jaron Jackson]

I bought a small multifamily property towards the end of December, which is located right outside the Atlanta area, with a tenant already living in one of the units. I am self managing the property as well. I think I have pretty good customer service skills and I say that because I always email or write my tenants a letter with respect and professionalism. Unfortunately, the tenants didnt like the change in ownership and feels as though they dont have to pay rent to a new owner since they didnt sign their current lease with me , the new owner. I would have loved to create a new lease for the tenants but they have stopped all communication with me after expressing that they dont want to pay me a dime. I proceeded to move forward with the eviction process after making it perfectly clear that I wanted to work something out with them(even offering to waive the late fee penalty). We finally had our court date at the end of February so I am down 2 months rent. Per the court order, the tenants must be moved out in the next few days but they havent even started to pack or anything. I fear that they will continue to be stubborn and not budge. To make matter worse, the local sheriff will not be available to come out to the property until a few weeks from now.  I don't want to continue dealing with the tenants for another month. Any advice on what I should do? Thanks
