Thank you!

@Caleb Heimsoth for sure, I hear you about fake leases.  Trust me, this journey has been a nightmare with OP.  My other thought is this guy is not making contact because hes a squatter.  Which is fine (part of the process I guess) and we will just take it one step at a time. I guess this is a great question for my new PM.

@Caleb Heimsoth I would agree, but we have had success with our units being rented and they are actually in fair shape.  My concern is, IF this tenant has a lease and can show proof they have been paying rent we will lose this eviction.  Will the judge then give us the ability to correct the tenant and say this new PM has been hired rent payments should be going to the new company etc.

I currently have 3 doors in IN with Ocean Pointe investments and I am switching to BHB Investments for some pretty serious reasons.  But where I am at right now is one of my tenants (that we think is a tenant right now and not a squatter) has been left 3 welcome packets and has not yet made contact with BHB.  BHB has suggested that we start the eviction process next month, which I am on board with.  But, they mentioned that if this tenant shows up with a lease (from Ocean Pointe) and copies of receipts showing they paid rent (to Ocean Point) then we would lose the eviction.

OK- so will we then get the chance in that court room to state that we have a new property management company and they should be paying rent to them in the future?  My concern is that if this tenant is paying or continues to pay Ocean Pointe we will not see our money. (Again, I can't comment too much on this part for legal reasons) My main question is will we get to redirect the tenant in court? Have the tenant fill out the lease information with BHB and then start paying BHB? Or am I just screwed?

@Frank Jevitzky excellent points!

Soooo in the hotel world we would utilize an Ozone Machine.  I see some folks saying they would have an odd taste in their mouth afterwards- do not go into the room when this ozone machine is on, it's extremely bad for your lungs (machine puts of Ozone which is O3). You should not have your windows open to ensure that the ozone is released and locked into the room/house.  After you run it you can open the windows etc.  But for the time that it's running keep them shut.  Additionally, you will need to "wash" your walls, sounds like you painted them which should be just as effective.  You will 90% likely need to replace the carpet or hire a carpet cleaning company to come in and professionally do this.  Think about any fabric left in the house- drapery, even a simple towel, can make the house smell so make sure that you are looking for those items too.  

@Larry Fried I completely agree with face to face business and a visit to the area.  I will do some research.  PS, your comment sort of made me laugh when you said "true turn key properties unlike Morris Invest." #toosoon for this girl!  Thanks again,
