Switching to New Property Manager and Need Help!!!!

[Amanda Whiteley]

I currently have 3 doors in IN with Ocean Pointe investments and I am switching to BHB Investments for some pretty serious reasons.  But where I am at right now is one of my tenants (that we think is a tenant right now and not a squatter) has been left 3 welcome packets and has not yet made contact with BHB.  BHB has suggested that we start the eviction process next month, which I am on board with.  But, they mentioned that if this tenant shows up with a lease (from Ocean Pointe) and copies of receipts showing they paid rent (to Ocean Point) then we would lose the eviction.

OK- so will we then get the chance in that court room to state that we have a new property management company and they should be paying rent to them in the future?  My concern is that if this tenant is paying or continues to pay Ocean Pointe we will not see our money. (Again, I can't comment too much on this part for legal reasons) My main question is will we get to redirect the tenant in court? Have the tenant fill out the lease information with BHB and then start paying BHB? Or am I just screwed?

@Caleb Heimsoth for sure, I hear you about fake leases.  Trust me, this journey has been a nightmare with OP.  My other thought is this guy is not making contact because hes a squatter.  Which is fine (part of the process I guess) and we will just take it one step at a time. I guess this is a great question for my new PM.
