For those of you who have covered this scenario before.......
I am shortly about to settle on a house with an attached lease. I have sorted out some previous problems involving a large dog (for those of you who have read my previous posts on this you would know I'm not a fan of indoor pit bull puppies!!) with the tenants. They ended up signing a clause to agree that the dog would be kept outdoors and any damage repaired prior to them vacating.
On settlement, when the property becomes ours, we will be giving them notice. Their lease only has 4 wks to run anyway. However, I am concerned that, because the lease was drawn up between the previous vendors and these tenants, that we have no rights here. How does it all work? Will I need to have a new lease drawn up with our names substituting the previous owners?
Cheers, Confused Jacque
