Signing a lease before closing
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with signing a lease with a tenant before closing on the property? I am under contract on a duplex in Denver with a close date of December 1. A woman has reached out through the seller and is interested in renting it and moving in December 7. She seems to meet all of the criteria (but I will do a complete screening), but I am unsure about the legality of entering into a lease before we close. I don't want to turn away a good tenant since this is a terrible time of year to find a tenant. Any suggestions or knowledge are appreciated! Thanks!
