I am purchasing a duplex and the seller contacted me and asked what I thought about him placing a tenant before closing. I know that it is easier to have a tenant In place right away but I will be living in the other half of the duplex and want to know who I am dealing with. I have an application and lease that I am sure he does not have (I have seen his lease agreement before). Its not a horrible lease agreement but I have a lot more in mine. I suggested that he do a month to month since closing will be early in April. Is this the right way to go about this or what other options do I have?
