Thank you all for the responses, and thank you, yes its my first property (house hacking). I didn't know the Pay or Quit was a thing until now. I've got some research to do on how I should use it, but good to know it exists. Luckily the process of getting the money went pretty smoothly. Apparently the seller did not tell the PM the property sold so all of my tenants were getting rent requests still. I was able to get the PM on the same page and they mailed a check to me. I went the grace route on this one with the tenant and made sure they stayed in communication. 

I just bought a fourplex and we closed around the 20th of last month. I sent an introduction email and notice that online payments are changing. Now rents are due and the tenant said they paid the previous property manager before seeing my message and their payments were set up on automatic bill pay. 

My question is how do I recover the money from the other manager and what can I do to get them to hustle. I've already called and emailed, but havent gotten a response. It's also July 3rd so they'll probably drag their feet for the holiday weekend. I've also instructed the tenants to contact the manager as well. 

Thanks for any input.
