House Hacking an occupied duplex

[Martin Pena]

If i am planning on house hacking a duplex. How do i go about living in one unit if both are already rented? Do i inform one of the tenants that i am moving in and give them a certain time frame for them to leave or do i have to wait for the lease to expire?

Thanks for the feedback.

If they have been there a long time they may be on a month to month rent. If they have a lease you can probably get them out sooner by offering a months rent if they don't have a low lease rate.

When you purchase a rented home, you are obligated by existing leases.
