My Wife And I Bought A House And Now We’re Getting Threats
In Pennsylvania my wife and I bought a house. There is a tenant in there which we knew. The seller told us the lease was up June 1st so we went under contract the lease came forward at closing and it’s over July 7th. This is not the timing we were looking for but manageable before school starts again in August. We are currently renting the landlord here wants to sell and we are month to month. We call the company that is the tenant. The company is a short term housing provider for insurance companies. The occupant seems willing to move but this may not be the case. The tenant however, verbally threatened us that they have laws that protect them and he’s keeping the house for at least 4 or 5 months. So we did some more digging and found out the plumbing in the upstairs isn’t useable as it clogs all the time. Half the outlets don’t work either. I have to talk to the township and see what their landlord policies are and if they have to inspect or even if the seller did the right thing to begin with in regards to the township. We insured the property and have a rider for the lease situation so we are covered there. Questions are below.
What laws protect them that aren’t covered under standard landlord tenant laws? (If any)
Can a standard notice to vacate be used 30 days prior to the lease ending to ensure they surrender the property or are then considered hold over tenants and can be charged for all living and legal expenses?
The seller seems to be very shady and the house still has off market listings. How are we protected if she “sells” it again? We did a title search and everything got the title insurance.
What other pitfalls are we looking at?
