    Yeah we did. Sales agent also managed the property. We asked them to let the tenants know as soon as our offer was accepted that we intended to occupy. That gave them 90 days head start to begin looking. We issued notice (60 or 90 days I think) so they had tons of warning. Told them if they left early they wouldn’t pay for any extra days and we were very lenient on the exit report.

    Don’t feel too bad about it, the place was not in a good state but impossible to tell if it was them or any of the previous tenants who trashed it.

      Thank you. I dislike the idea of moving somebody, but vacant possession would be a must. Totally lenient on the exit bit if that transferred, I’ve always left places n a better state than I got them.

        Wouldn’t let vacant possession be a barrier. Getting rid of tenants is getting tougher and tougher, that’s a massive roadblock to some vendors. Meanwhile “I brought the place but sorry I need my house” is still the safest way to end a tenancy.

        Vacant possession creates a huge barrier for your vendors. One that frankly, you don’t need to be that worried about.

          Point seen, but we can’t realistically give notice as tenants here until that place can be occupied by us.

            That’s the tricky part. We budgeted for a bit of overlap. Fortunately the rental bathroom started growing mushrooms so the conversation with the realestate went in our favour.
