Inherited Tenant , current lease in place

[Josiah Hrusch]

Hello, I inherited a tenant in a new duplex, the tenant is current sectioned 8. Their lease is in the old owners name. I had my attorney look at the lease he said the lease is good until January 2022 and that since we are the successor an interest to the landlord under the lease we don't have to change anything. Silly question though , how do we set it up so we get the rental income? Should that be a property management issue or attorney issue?

Hey @Josiah Hrusch, your property is in Columbus, OH, right? If so, we should chat. I can answer any Q's you might have. I personally have 2 S8 tenants and work with S8 a bunch.
