Inheriting a lease - what to know

[Charlie Miner]

Hello,

I close on my first property (house-hacking a duplex) Sept. 1 and the lower level tenant is in a current lease through 4/30/23. I've reviewed the existing lease that I'll be inheriting upon closing and all seems to look good. What other steps might I need to take to do my due diligence? i.e. obtaining new security deposit, general tips and advice, etc. Any sort of checklist or books that one might recommend to a first-time landlord? Thanks so much!
