Just continue to rent at current rate for May, deliver a letter explaining the increase, and have the tenant sign a new lease now that takes effect on June 1.  

Hi Everyone,I recently went under contract for a package of three houses with a 21 day due diligence window and a closing period of about 60 days after contract signing.  

Since we have not seen the agreement you signed, there is no way to know the best way to proceed.

Call the number in the image below (BiggerPockets wouldn't let me put a phone number in the text so I had to upload an image file).Wait until the Spanish speaker speaks and the English speaker speaks again, then press 2, then 4, then 2, and you should be able to be connected to somebody or sign up for a call back (the latter probably being a better idea this time of year).

I always have broken items removed, even if it costs me money like having water softeners taken out.I would NOT replace the free washer/dryer with a coin op after signing a lease with a tenant.

Lets say you are a wholesaler and win a property at a sheriff sale or sign a contract with a seller for $100,000.

Drive around and look for signs.

Grand Rapids is an incredibly hot market right now, with no signs of slowing down.

Either way, it's not exactly the sign of a great landlord.
