Buying a rental with existing tenants.

[Reagan Huefner]

Hey Landlords, I’m closing on my first property in a few weeks. It’s a duplex that has short term leases on both units. My plan is to move into the top unit and have the renter that live there now move to the bottoms since they want to stay long term, and the bottom is updated. The owner doesn’t want to give me a copy of the leases or tenant contact information until closing. Since I am buying the property and hence the leases do I have the right to see them and/or contact the tenants? Thank you!
