<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, I have someone who signed a purchase and sale agreement (the standard MLS form) to purchase a home and to get possession on closing. We are less than a week away from closing and we learned that the lease for the tenant at the home
does not expire for another month. "Possession on closing" means the seller needs to make sure the tenant is out of there by closing - right?<o:p></o:p></p>
