What to look at first
Gather the lease, addenda, deposits and relevant management records. Ask counsel or the appropriate professional how the tenancy will be handled in the proposed sale. A transfer of ownership does not by itself establish that a tenant must leave. Marketing and contract language should reflect the possession rights that actually exist.
Coordinate showings with a lawful access process. Arizona’s access statute generally requires at least two days’ notice and reasonable entry times, subject to the statute’s exceptions. Plan how notices and appointments will be documented. Work with escrow and the relevant advisers on rent prorations, deposits and transfer records so the seller, buyer and tenant are not left with conflicting expectations.

Jessica brings experience with short sales and bank-owned property to the real estate work; counsel, the servicer and tax advisers address their own parts of the problem.
