Re: Selling a Rental Property
1) I wouldn't necessarily do something against a tenant on behalf of a prospective buyer. Let the buyer do it himself.
2) This requires a local opinion, and you'd be much better off asking a lawyer in your area. 30 minutes could save you a lot of headache.
3) why not (after consulting counsel) find out if there's something you can do to help the tenant leave, rather than just kicking them out.
