Tenants wont leave my new home
I am about to close escrow on a home that still has tenants in it. The owner is renting to a family, who is also subleasing some of the rooms, that is being difficult. I was told that the house would be empty on 1/31/04 yet the tenants said they were not notified until 1/26/04 that the house had sold.We opened escrow in early December. The owner claims that he ”verbally” noticed the tennants. I am in the position that if I dont close escrow by 2/13/04 I will lose the locked in interest rate and be subject to more fees. I dont want to lose this house because of the stuborn tenants. The owner never had a written rental agreement with the tenants and it looks like I will be inheriting the property tenant occupied. What can I do to get them out ASAP? The owner claims he is trying to get them out but will not serve them. It has been suggested that before escrow closes that I enter into a rental agreement with the owner with the current tenants as tenants therefore making him responsible for rent and expenses and he says he is willing to do this. Or can I just serve the tenants a 60 day notice as soon as the home is mine? Please help!
