First Property, Evicting a tenant

[Andrew Ryan]

Hi everyone!

Just purchased my first investment property. It's through an FHA loan so I will be living there for a year. The home is fully rented and in the sales agreement it stated that the past owners had to give notice to the tenant to have him moved out. They gave him notice on Nov. 28th and closing just happened on 12/29.

The tenant is now stating that I can't force him out until the lease agreement is up. He acknowledges that the prior owner gave him an eviction letter explaining that it was his 60 day notice on 11/28, but is saying it's illegal. The lease states "The Landlord must provide the Tenant 60 days written notice of any changes to the lease".

Is the tenant right in this scenario? Or does the 60 day notice serve as a written notice of a change to the lease?

The property is in Pennsylvania.
