Took over occupied Duplex, now what?

BP!

After trying, failing, not having enough capital, not being quick enough, etc, I finally have a duplex to house hack.

So after much learning, I can’t seem to find this info...

What do I do with the tenant that’s in the other unit? I’m moving into one unit, but do I go knock on the door with warm cookies and give them a copy of my expectations/how to pay future rent/emergency contact info etc?

Do I mail it instead with a thoughtful letter?

If you have been in this position, PLEASE, what did you do?
