So, in that regard, you're ahead.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but at NO point did we pitch this show as some awesome show because of Ken's association with anyone.

I would be inclined to give notice to vacate.

Day after we bought the place, the tenant told us that he was broke and moving ASAP - that one of the owners (it was a partnership) had paid his rent for him the previous couple of months so they could sell it with at least one side occupied.That caught us by surprise, but it all worked out - we were going to give him 30-day notice anyhow b/c we didn't want his dogs.And the next duplex - the owner told us rent was $625.

I noticed this post is four years old but there are many Milwaukee professionals here.

Just say'n.Have you noticed the long and legalistic disclaimers they all have?

Lower income tenants tend to only live in the now and do not look ahead in many cases or plan for success.

Would some building inspector notice this code violation?

You are clearly ahead of where I was with that since you are on Bigger Pockets and I didn't know a thing about this site or local REIAs or how to buy property other than paying retail for it.

They may have said okay to the roommate they will sublet but his name is still on the lease so to you the third roommate is still responsible and when you send notices include that individual.
