Letter to Tenants for review
Hello, I purchased a property from the tax deed sale auctions this morning and am looking to begin the leasing process for residents that have been living at the house. I am unsure of their status as paying tenants, but need to figure it out so that I can either collect rent from them or evict / eject and get new tenants. I have had zero contact with them so far, and I am unable to contact the previous owner due to them being in prison. Below is my very basic draft of the initial contact letter that I am thinking of sending. What do you think?
Hello,
My name is Sam Zawatsky and I have recently purchased this property from auction. I am looking to communicate with you regarding your current status as tenants, status and details of current lease agreements, etc. Please reach out to me via text or call at (XXX)XXX-XXXX. I work with a team of professional property managers and would like to discuss options regarding residency with you.

Hi Sam,
I have never had to deal with this situation and hope you come to a quick solution with the current tenants. I hope that they cooperate and show you a contract that the prior owner had. That way you can see what the prior agreement was with the former owner. If they are not cooperative you might have to seek legal advice and go from there. Cash for keys could be an option as well and be sure to get it in writing. Good luck.
