Lied to by Seller! Help!
I just purchased a tenant-occupied home via Ashland Auctions in Baltimore, MD. Purchase process went fine, no issues. Listing said tenant is on-time, but on month-to-moth lease. I figured not a problem. Prior to purchase, I reviewed current lease which was signed in 2019 for 1 yr and month-to-month thereafter. I thought no problem. After settlement, my property manager speaks with tenant and turns out she just signed a new lease in March 2022! The house was sold in bad faith with seller knowing a new lease was signed, but failed to disclose that information. What options/recourse do I have at this point? Keeping this house, as is, is not within the plan at all.

Talk to a lawyer. That’s going to be the best thing you can do at this point.
