<p class="MsoNormal">Craig: I do not think you can skirt the landlord tenant protections. However, in these situations in the past, I have withheld a portion of the proceeds until such time as the seller moves out as a liquidated damage in the case they become
an issue. It has proven to be an effective carrot.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates- I am trying to figure out the intersection between delayed possession of home sale and a LLT law. Basic fact pattern is client wants to close the purchase now but
give the Seller 2 months to move out. In simpler times I would do a rental agreement for the 2 months and call it good. With the new LLT laws my understanding is that if it is considered a month to month we have no way to get the people out if they decide
not to move, except maybe breach of contract on the sales agreement and that would be a long term battle. Can we do a 2 month lease? Can we couch this as not a rental or lease agreement at all but just delayed possession agreement with typical lease language
dealing with insurance, maintenance etc? Basically calling a duck a chicken and hope nobody notices? Thoughts ?<u></u><u></u></p>
