I just closed on my second multi-family rental in Ohio. All three units are occupied, so I edited my lease to recreate the same terms as the leases they had signed with the previous landlord. My lease is more detailed and lengthier than the previous Landlord's, and for this reason one tenant wants to remain under the previous lease instead of signing mine. Do I have any obligation to allow him to do this? And how have you handled the purchases of occupied investment properties?  Thanks for your input!

Hello! I started using Bigger Pockets Smart Move last year to screen tenants for my rental properties, and am now excited to learn more about being a successful landlord. I'm also a license real estate agent going on three years now, and am continually looking for new strategies to systematize and gain efficiency so I can keep the business growing. Looking forward to learning from all of you!
