Inherited tenant with a month to month verbal lease in GA?
I am currently looking at a deal in my area that is FSBO and the current owner has a tenant in place that is paying below market rent. The tenant is paying month to month and there is no lease in place according to the owner. The price for the house is good (not great, but good) but the owner says that he won't ask the tenant to leave, and that it will be the responsibility of the new owner. Sounds to me like they know that it will be a problem. I want to buy this property to flip, so I have no interest in creating a lease with current tenant.
I have never had to evict someone, assuming I were to buy the place, what can I expect to have to go through to get this person out? I would try the cash for keys route, but I am trying to plan for the worst.
The property is In GA.
