Inheriting Tenants and Need to Tent House
I'm looking to buy a duplex with tenants in it already. The seller's agent has already disclosed that the termite inspection revealed approximately $3,500 in repairs which include tenting the home. The seller does not want to handle this and will be my responsibility if I purchase the property. As far as the tenants go I am assuming I will have to put them up in a hotel while this is being done, correct? Can I still charge them a full months rent for the time period they are not in the property and in the hotel? I'm hoping that I won't have to prorate the rent and can use a full months rent to offset a little of the cost of housing them. Thanks for any info. This is in CA too.
