Hi, I bought a house with a tenant who has a lease with past owner. This is in NJ. As a new owner am I legally obligated to honor the lease and not increase the rent or is the lease not valid anymore because its not between me and the tenant but the past owner? The rent was unchanged for past several years. Please advise. Thanks.
