Set expectations and advise them of the consequences.

Yesterday, I posted my standard notice on the front door advising the occupants that the place has been sold, to call me, and that if I don't hear back, I may initiate an unlawful detainer or if the place is vacant that I may change the locks, along with a copy of the deed.The property looks barely habitable (hot water heater is on the back porch (which looks like it's about to fall off its rotted post foundation), sheets of drywall and plywood out front, tons of beer cans and collection notices on the front door, and rotted siding/wood on one side of the house.

I was advised to have written tenant screening criteria.

Please advise.

But I now advise clients to report rental arbitrage on Schedule E.   

While reading is always great I wanted to share the advise that I got early on in trying to break into commercial (not that I've been successful breaking into that category but I like to think I'm on the way). 

The HOA/Board have already demonstrated their position, so I'm not sure why you think them hiring another atty to advise them will resolve this.
