Q: How do I get the month-to-month tenant out of a house I’m buying in NYS, so I can move in?
The tenant has no written lease with the home seller, who has neglected to tell the tenant they have to leave due to the sale of the property. How can I move in to my new home, if the tenant won’t move out?
A: You can’t. You have a lot of issues you’ll need to address, here. This is highly fact dependent. There are a number of solutions and drawbacks. This is something you’re going to want to address now in order to get the ball rolling (although Covid is slowing things down). Feel free to give me a call and I can explain.
