seller makes last minute changes

[Kimar Abdul-Samad]

Good morning everyone,

I placed an offer to seller one day.  The agent says they will consider offer and get back us the next day.  Next day arrives and we are informed that there is now a renter moving in.  There is still a considerable amount of work that needs to be done, which I planned on doing after close.  Apparently, these tenants are also paying below market rent on the property.  Although we requested a copy of the lease, I do not understand the reasoning behind putting tenants into this house...?  I have no idea of who these people are nor the screening process that afforded them the lease. What reason would a seller have to put tenants into a property after an offer has already been submitted??
