Is it legal to market rental for a property under contract?
Have a property under contract. It is closing in 10 days and everything is on track to close. The seller is aware I am an investor and will be renting the property out. I even showed the property to a prospective renter with seller allowing that showing to happen. (1) Can I start advertising the property for rental on a full scale? I do make a full disclosure to the prospective tenant. (2) If I do find a prospective tenant, can I sign a lease before I own the property with full disclosure in the lease? Although I suspect (2) may not happen until I get title, since I don't want to trouble the seller again with another showing. Any insight is much appreciated.
