If it’s not in your lease that tenant is responsible and this is the multi family Section 8 building you mentioned in another thread that would make things more complicated.

Bo, that’s a complex situation — when a trust has no active trustee and the bank steps in as successor, it can really complicate creative-finance structures like subject-to.From what I’ve seen, the biggest hurdle is title and consent: most title companies won’t insure a transfer until the bank legally conveys or forecloses, and the lender typically won’t approve a title transfer that keeps their note in place.Some investors will sometimes use short-term bridge capital (through escrow only) to secure control once title clears — essentially a timing solution rather than a workaround for lender consent.Definitely worth looping in a title company that’s handled estate or trust transfers under distress.
