[WI] [WI] How do I use a quitclaim to purchase my mother’s house from my siblings?

[MD] [MD] Is there anything else I need to do when buying out my ex-partner’s share of our home?

Hello! My ex-partner and I bought a house in Anne Arundel County, MD last year - I am the only borrower (only I signed the promissory note) but we are both listed on the deed of trust as tenants in common (67% me, 33% her). We have amicably split, and I am paying her $6000 for her 33% stake in the home. I filled out a template quitclaim deed with the relevant information, which I know needs to be signed in the presence of a notary and then filed with the county. I wanted to check to see whether there is anything else obvious that I am missing in this process.

Can I evict a tenant I inherited in a commercial real estate purchase?

Hello, I recently bought a commercial real estate strip center. One of the tenants is a laundromat. He has an ongoing lease from the previous owner that carries over to me. It states there's a renewal option every five years. The next renewal is coming up in three years. There’s no wording on rent increases. He’s been paying $800 for the past five years and will continue at that rate—nothing more. Is there a way to evict this tenant?
