I guess I should say "given" the property. It sounds too unreal, and absolutely insane. I'm not actually "buying" the place. I am being gifted the duplex.
By whom?

And why?

The owner has a reason for unloading the property on you for free.

You have the option of declining the gift until the upstairs tenancy is resolved.

Once you own it you could end up spending umpteen thousands on getting them out and addressing the mess they leave behind.

I've definitely been looking into it already. It really doesn't seem like it's going to be too awful. Not the process of it anyway, just worried what they may do to the property.
Yes, worry. At least one consequence has already been revealed in a previous response.

I did run the woman's name, the actual person he rented to .. and she's been evicted 4 times previously around town. So she's pretty much a complete loser who doesn't like to pay rent!
So, you've been warned. Heed it.
