Post: Need legal advice: I bought a bank owned duplex with squatter

Thank you for sharing these great perspectives. I told the tenant that I wanted to vacate the unit to which she responded that she had rights as a squatter and that she would go to court if necessary. Apparently the bank offered her $3K to vacate the unit in order to be able to sell the place for more money but she turned it down.

Next step for me is to evict her, could anyone refer me to an attorney in Cleveland?

Thank you again,

Gautier

Hello,

I recently started to invest in real estate in Cleveland and would like to discuss the situation that I am in. I bought a duplex from a bank 2 months ago, the upstairs unit is occupied by someone who has been here for 10 years. This person stayed when the previous owner abandoned the property 3 years ago. Now I own the property and would like to evict this person who is not able to pay rent.

Do I need to hire an attorney in order to go through a formal eviction process or can I just ask this person to leave since she told me that she would not be able to pay?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Gautier
