Branner with no lease and property that I am buying.

[Joe S.]

So I have had a seller reach out and we have negotiated a price that’s extremely good deal for me. The challenge is they have a renter that they claim has been in there two years without a lease. 

Should I require them to get a signed lease prior to closing and them assigned that to me? Really I do not even want the tenants in there, but I don’t want to get a property where I end up in eviction court and the renter/potential squatter is saying one thing different than what the sellers told me.

PS I see that my title is jacked up,but I cannot edit it. Lol.
