What information should I seek when inheriting tenants?

[Jason Unrath]

When considering submitting an offer on a property which is at least partially rented (in other words, you would be inheriting tenants), what information/documentation is reasonable for me to request from the seller?  Should I be able to ask for a copy of the tenants' current rental agreement, property expense history, etc.?  What information would ask for to fully vet the property?

Require a esstopal letter signed by both tenants and landlord. It will include all pertinent information, rent, deposits, special considerations, term of lease etc.
