Would you buy a property if you had to evict an elderly tenant?
Long story very VERY short-
My husband and I are interested in purchasing a property for renovation. There is one current tenant who doesn't want to move. He is not rent controlled, is a sibling of the owner selling the building and is in his 80s, not in great health, doesn't speak English and is illiterate in his native language. Legally, we could evict him as he is not and has never paid rent, but it does make me feel kind of yucky.
Would you do it?
