Sacramento rental - tenant didn't pay rent before we purchased it

[Michelle Berge]

Hi!

We purchased a duplex and after we closed, we spoke with some neighbors and found out that one of the tenants hadn't paid rent for a few months during their tenancy. We are currently verifying if what we heard from the neighbor is accurate information. If this is the case, what recourse do we have since it was not included in any disclosures during escrow. 

Also, does anyone know of an attorney in Sacramento that deals with landlord/tenant issues?

Thanks in advance!
