Inherited tenant with a felony

[Laura Cardenas]

Hello everyone!

I’ve got a 3 unit multi under contract, we’re due to close next week. I will be moving in and house hacking.

The two other units are currently occupied. There is no written lease for either of them and they’re both month to month tenants(both paying WAY under market value but that’s a different story).

I just received the completed estoppal agreement so I instantly google searched the tenants names. One of the tenants was recently in jail and is currently on probation. His offense is “Domestic violence stalking”.

When I screen my own tenants I have a minimum qualification of no violent felonies.

I will be living in this home with my 1 year old daughter.

I instantly think to myself

“How do I get him out as fast as possible?”

Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
