And, know this: the #1 reason why landlords fail is their failure to manage to the lease. 

Reason that is bad is 2-4 units were the first to go sky high in 2020 to 2022 and now rents do not match the market if your getting financing.No point having a mortgage of over $2850.00 on a $420K home if the rents on a Duplex are only $1250 to $1350 a door. 

It is one of the reasons I like a Wrap Note and Mortgage (or Deed of Trust). 

The only reason I’m leaving Hospitable is because I need integration with Marriott Homes & Villas.

Quote from @Jeffrey Duck: I see no reason to pay an attorney for this, but it's your dime.The current lease was between you and Person B.

that's the reason we do what we do is to look out for our buyers. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

This guide will break down the key reasons to explore this market and how you can navigate it effectively.What Are Distressed Properties?

(we all know the reason why) In the meantime, should I just move forward with the lease and let them know they need to provide it when it becomes available?

Any reason why you need a "private person" here?
