Tenants’ Lease End (COVID-19)

[Adrian Santos]

Hi,

I’m interested in purchasing a duplex here in FL as a house hack. The numbers work well for me. However, there are tenants in both of the units staying on a verbal lease agreement (month to month).

I’m kind of struggling whether to add a contingency for the seller to make the units vacant upon closing (would make my offer weaker) or i’ll do it myself after closing.

Reason being is with the COVID moratoriums in place, it’s not technically eviction since I don’t plan to renew the leases anymore or the seller. Or is it?

What do you guys think? Any inputs would be appreciated

Thanks
