Inherited tenants with a handshake lease

[David Oxandale]

I just purchased 6 single family home where 2 are occupied. They had a handshake deal, are behind on rents with previous owner and keep the homes a complete mess. How do I go about explaining the new rules ( No trash on front porch, Late pmts = eviction, etc) Don't want to start a war.

Thanks!!!

You're already at war. I'd get them out ASAP. Start fresh.
