Does in-process eviction transfer to new owner?

[Jason Powell]

I'm closing on a property in a couple days. One of the tenants has not paid April rent, and the landlord has given proper notices and just filed paperwork at the courthouse. The court date is set for when I own the property (after closing). Can I show up to court as the new landlord and continue un-interrupted with the eviction process, even though I wasn't the one who filed the original notices and courthouse paperwork?

Thanks in advance!
