Tenant didn't sign lease
Hello team,
I acquired an 8 plex about a month ago. The in place tenants were month to month. We drafted a new lease with a rent increase and instructed the tenants to return the signed leases by Jan 1st. I have one tenant, who went ahead and paid the increased rent, but hasn't returned the lease. I have text her, called her and left a voice mail on Jan 1 telling her that she would be considered month to month at a higher rate, but no response.
How should I proceed? I am fully aware that she can't just stay in place with no lease. That scenario seems less than ideal. Let me know. Feel free to let me have it. Thanks.
