Re: buying a house
Of course, the lease should be reviewed but generally, if the tenant is paying the rent and is otherwise not in breach of the lease, you cannot evict them until the end of the lease term. You can try to buy them out. However, the best course of action is to have the current owner buy them out or otherwise try to get them to leave BEFORE you buy the property.
