As it turns out, the owners were going through a divorce.

You could offer them 1/2 or whatever ratio you feel is fair given the circumstances and they can write you a check for that amount to walk away.Another thought, if there is a way you can find out where they are moving, a forwarding address etc, I'd reach out to that new LL or owner and explain the situation to them, I have a feeling the tenant didn't disclose that they have an existing lease as a liability in their financials when the applied, and there may be some application fraud etc at play here that the new LL would likely want to know.Think about this from your own point of view, I doubt if you picked up and left one of your subway locations that the the LL would just let you leave.  

Not a LLc, not a fictitious name, not your pet, not your registered agent (some people think their registered agent can sign for them…) BUT YOUGuess what goes on public record… YOUR NAME…..

Owner is investing out of state and I just got the mail today for a good check.

Hi @John Fairchild, all other KCMO long term rental property owners here:Do you eventually figure out the business license requirements or the need to pay KCMO city tax?

If your property has any special aspects, you may find that the recommendations are not addressing it or indicating you should remove a needed coverager.If this is a 1-4 family rental dwelling (completely non-owner occupied) the likely policy is a Dwelling Fire Policy.  

I have a lender in the Syracuse area that deals strictly with non owner occupied investment properties that I’d be happy to extend as a resource.

I've yet to speak with the owner of any promotional company that operates in that capacity.  

@Bryan BrownThe "best" would be to transfer upon the current owner's death. 

Long story short, the current owner recently purchased this property at a tax sale 2 months ago.
