Occupied by Past Owner in one unit, the other unit is empty.I have hired a property Management company to complete eviction - Upon receiving Eviction notice, Past Owner / Tenant went to the Property Management office and insisted that she still owns the property, refused to sign a lease, and stated that she won’t pay rent for her own property.Property Management company stated that this will not be resolved without going in front of a judge and told me that it can be filed at the end of the month.How long with this process take?
