Q: Bought trailer on april 2nd and finalized on april 7th now the previous owner refuses to move out until end of may or
June. We are considered over occupancy where we are now. What do we do?
A:
Without seeing the purchase agreement it is hard to say. When was there supposed to be occupancy? At closing? Within c days of closing? Etc.
Also ‘over occupancy’ is not a term used in Michigan law. What do you mean? You’re ‘holding over’ on a previous lease? Oat one month rent and you’re holding over and have converted it to a month to month tenancy — but to be ‘polite’ you should inform the landlord what’s up so they can plan to re-rent.
Bottom line: take the closing paperwork to a local licensed attorney to review and see what is the next step. It may take some time so seek that local opinion ASAP to get things started!
