Hold up the closing and get a notarized  letter from the seller, that the lower property has a tenant and that the upper property is vacant.

In fact, many were RUINED financially and for things beyond their own control.If you finance the home as a principal residence, you have to be prepared to commit fraud, as your lender is likely going to require a notarized and/or sworn statement that this is your principal residence.Good luck to you and stay safe.

I’d like to think we wouldn’t need legal consultation, maybe just a notarized agreement between the two of us.

Some even require a notarized sales contract to make sure the seller is the person who signed the contract.

That lease isnt legally valid, all you need in my state is a notarized letter from him about her changing the term on the lease, hopefully backed up by his copy. 

But you'd need that person to be with you.I'm not sure how you 'cloud' the title by having a notarized sales contract ??

It is a much stronger statement that you are you than a notarization.

DAY IF DOUBLE CLOSE ISSUE THE CASH BUYER A NOTARIZED PROMISSORY NOTE TURNING THEM INTO A TRANSACTIONAL LENDER AND YOU BORROWER IN ORDER TO DIP INTO THE B&C ESCROW TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH MOTIVATED SELLER. 

The biggest things still yet to acknowleged by him or finished is a couple of outlets not working, track light not working, and he hasn't given me a key to my mailbox.the electrical I'm not to worried about, though I am hand delivering a notarized letter next week about it, mostly It's the mailbox.

He is still ultimately responsible for the fix according to Georgia landlord laws, although they have a notarized agreement stating otherwise, correct?
