You can't issue a lease for a property you don't own yet so I'm not sure there is much point in attempting to contact the tenant before hand.

You should be charging late fees, serving any appropriate pay or quit notices for past due rent, providing copies of any notices you serve to the tenants to the Housing Authority, reminding the tenants that even in jurisdictions that have/had eviction moratoriums that doesn’t mean they don’t owe rent and that you won’t attempt to collect it, and advise them that when evictions resume (which is likely to be soon) if they force you to pursue that option they are not only risking their tenancy they are also risking their Section 8 voucher.
