Tenant Late While in Escrow

[Ryley Marble]

Hello BP,

I am in escrow selling a duplex that I have. There is a tenant in place that is currently late on rent, but has only become late since the property was in escrow. They said they would pay 2 weeks late, but that time has since passed. They are now saying they can't pay for another two weeks, the problem is the property is supposed to close prior to that two weeks. Any advice on how to handle the situation?

Have the seller start the eviction paperwork.
