New Landlord Advice

[Charles Evans]

So I just closed on a duplex a couple days ago & Im going to be house hacking. Theres someone living in the side that I will be occupying until the 1st of February, but since I JUST became the owner, would it make sense to reach out and ask them something like "Hey its __ the new owner, just checking in to see how you're doing. I was told by the previous owner that you're moving out by February 1st, can you confirm that?"
