Credit from previous owner, make sense?

Hi experts!

Just bought my first SFH rental, occupied with tenants. I closed the deal at 1 June.

Apparently (just found out) , the previous owner promised the tenants, half price credit for both May and June (even that we closed the deal on 1 June) for making them show the house for different people.

Is that legitimate? Do you think I should follow it (the credit)?

after all, I didn't promise it, I wasn't told about it by last owner.

In addition, I had to send inspector twice, in May, since the tenants were not there to allow him in (after scheduling with them) the first time. Old owner told them, they should pay for that, but they are making a lot of noise and resistance.

Also, the lease ends at 31 July, only 2 month with them left. I am not sure how to respond. On the on hand I don't want troubles, and ok to lose some money for sake of order. But on the other hand I think it is not right, that I should get the money (full price of June and money for the inspection).

What do you think about this situation? What would you do instead of me?

We are talking about c+ neighborhood.

Thank you very much for your help!
