Have the tenant sign the estoppel (with a witness) to attest to its content.If there is a discrepancy between the amount of rent identified by the Vendor and what the Tenant claims to be paying - or any other difference between the lease and estoppel  - make it the Vendor's responsibility to explain or rectify the situation.You will inherit the existing lease and will be obligated to honour its conditions.

It took time to get to this point but now they have confidence in what they read and of course over the years in order to gain their confidence I always made any mistakes in perceptions not cost them anything, any discrepancies in perception ended in their favor, this created confidence that there was nobody try to 'gotcha' them, and secondly I've always made it clear that if there was something extra not on the scope, hidden, something that couldn't be forseen to simply let me know, explain it and give me a change order.
