Tenants left days after closing 😩

Just closed on our 4-plex about a week or so ago. There were already tenants occupying each unit so we just took over as the new owners keeping the old leases in place.

A few days ago we got an email saying one of the tenants up and left. In the email our prop management stated that the tenant informed the previous seller. Hmmmm? Something kind of weird going on it seems.

Is there any sort of action we should be taking against the tenant? Is it even worth it if we are out of state investors?

Looking further the leases from the previous owner didn’t have any clause saying there would be any recourse if tenants broke their leases.

Would love to know if there was a step maybe we missed?

Thanks!

    Always remember it doesn’t matter how nice you were how cheap the rent is or what breaks you gave them ...Tenants will bail on you at any time it’s convienant for them . Never forget this fact
