If I purchase a duplex on, say the 7th day of a month, do I have to wait until the following month to serve a notice to quit for an at will tenant or can I give that to them as soon as I sign my papers on the property?

You have all been such a huge help - I love this resource :-)

I am trying to buy a duplex for myself and my daughter.  The lender is out of state and telling me that the cost of an appraisal in Maine is $725.00.  Is that reasonable?

Thank you all so much  for your responses.  This is very helpful :-)

Sorry - Is it hard to evict a paying a tenant

I am purchasing a duplex for myself to live in one unit and my adult daughter to live in the other unit.  The unit I will be in will be vacant per the contact I am currently under.  The other one has a lease that expires Jan 1, 2018.  When can I notify the tenant they have to leave and am I able to just tell them they have to leave so I can have someone else in that unit?  I am in Maine.
