Can an owner renew a Tenant Lease just before Title Transfer?

[Cassie Mcconville]

I am about to close on a triplex.   We are inheriting two tenants (one unit is vacant).   During the due diligence we were given the information that the respective leases ended 7/1/22 and 8/1/22.   Now, one day prior to close, we have been forwarded the actual lease agreements and it appears that the current owners have created a new lease for one of the Tenants for a period beginning 7/1/22 and ending 7/1/23.   Are they allowed to do this?  Do I have any recourse here?

@Cassie Mcconville, did you put in your contract or an addendum that both parties signed to not renew or lease any of the units?
