Can I buy a Mount Pleasant property that still has a holdover tenant or an occupant who will not leave?

Buying a Mount Pleasant property with a holdover tenant or an occupant who will not leave is possible, but the contract needs to spell out who is responsible for getting the unit vacant and by when, since a buyer cannot start eviction proceedings before closing. Sellers typically carry that risk through a delivery-of-possession clause, a holdback of funds, or a delayed closing date tied to the occupant actually leaving. Brian Beatty and the closing attorney build that language into the contract before you are locked in.
