Inherited tenants breaking lease
I inherited 3 tenants in my rental house purchase in Illinois. Two of them are a dating couple with a baby on the way. Tenant number 3 messaged me today and asked if I had heard from them. Because they just told him they are moving out tomorrow.
When they asked me if they could move out I said if they found replacement tenants.
that was the end of the communication.
Until tenant number 3 just messaged me.
These 2 have not been stellar about paying rent on time.
What should I do?
Do I go through the eviction process after the next round of rent is due?

You should be happy they are leaving. Evictions in Chicago take four months... Get new tenants and screening screening!
