And yes, that makes you responsible for those other costs. 

@Harjeet Bhatti Thank you for the response. 

Thanks for quick response, Maria!

Thank you for your response Neal.

I thought I had a line on a property manager but I am not happy with the responses I am getting so I am continuing to look. 

Thanks for all of the responses, they were very helpful.

If you gave proper notice to the tenant about how to pay the rent to you, then it is not your responsibility to try to recoup the money from the previous owner.

But, assuming specs are equal, you want to go with the provider that you trust to be transparent, responsive, and stable.Now, I am not in the Canadian market, so things may be slightly different up north, but generally, your vetting process should be the same. 

Mike, thanks for the response!

Your response is greatly appreciated
