If you don't have a written lease from the purchase I'd check out your local and state agencies for advice on what the law is in the state in addition to consulting with an attorney.For example, where I am (St Louis, MO) the city has a "landlord's guide"https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/...which includes things like sample applications, information on the eviction process, and citations to the state landlord tenant law.The Attorney General puts out a state guide on Landlord Tenant lawhttps://www.ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/publica... though an attorney would be the most helpful when it comes to knowing what paper trail you need to create.
