I have my next IP under contract and it's due for settlement in 6 weeks, and there is a possibility the current owner may want to stay on as my tenant from settlement I'm just curious if anyone has had this situation before and what the possible risks could be.
I have spoken to local PMs and got their views the main concern they had is that the property condition report would be done but would be hard to claim bond money for damage that would have been covered up by their furniture during their initial inspection. However I'm not too fussed with this as I was planning on doing a Reno at settlement so can just delay this.
Note the reason the seller is selling is due to family reasons but they have lived there for best part of 20yr and kept the place in good shape.
