Our LLC sold a rental

lease states that once sold, tenant will be notified and have to move within 30 days

had to file a summons and complaint to recover possession due to the following

1 tenant unauthorized changes to unit 

2 damaged pipes by tenant

3 property sold and new owner does not want tenant

this is Detroit... 

any thoughts on ideas on one of the complaints would be helpful. The tenant is trying to stay However the new owner does not want them. So we have to get them out in addition to the problems were already having with the tenant

    I so confused by this post. If you sold the property, why are you still involved with the lease and tenant in any way? I'm assuming your lease is month to month? It's not legal to evict a tenant because you are selling the property, and I would definitely not put in the lease that you intend to do so. 

    Given the information you've included here, I'd let the new owners deal with an eviction and have a beer with my team to celebrate the sale and never think about the property or tenant again.

    @Corby Goade

    thanks for the help!!!

    Tenant was already causing issues.  We agreed to have the tenant out per the agreement.  It's a land contract agreement(sale).

    You're right.... We have handed the keys off to the new owner.  The new owner move in date is Feb. 1 sooooooo was working on getting the tenant out.
