At the same time, look to see if he left any contact information behind and reach out to family to determine his status.If you can't contact anyone soon, I would consider moving his belongings to storage, terminating the lease, and finding a new roommate.Because you are in California, I would consult an attorney.

I am currently consulting as a Build 2 Rent District Manager in Florida.  

Did you talk to a consultant or another accountant/bookkeeper about what happened?

I'd consult with an attorney before mentioning or including the IRS/collections letters.

Feel free to DM me to set up a consultation!

Hi Keleisha, if this is something you are still pursuing, I can get you in contact with a GC who is specifically looking to help people with consulting.

Read the lease thoroughly and consult an attorney if you are not sure.

But wanted to add that you may want to consider a consultation with an attorney or even your liability insurance company to discuss best ways to handle this up front to avoid mis-steps in communication with the tenants, neighbors, media etc.

You need to consult your local laws to see what the legal amount of time is and decide for yourself if that's "reasonable."

Whenever making an investment decision, please consult with your tax attorney or financial professional.
