We are buying the home my husband grew up in. It was converted into apartments when his sister aquired the home. There are some problems with the home and we need to vacate the home to fix these problems, would the responsibility of removing the tenants fall upon my husband and I or would it be his siters responsibility? We are planning on returning it back into a one family home. There is no lease becuase the tenant is another sister who refuses to leave but can not buy the house herself. My husband and this sister (the tenant) do not get along.

We live in Michigan. There has been no peace with the tenant sister, except when there is nothing we have that she wants. So buying this house will not be peacful at all. I know it will take time to fix the homes problems becuase we have to get an exterminator in there first (she brought in bed bugs from an old mattress she found at the side of the road) before we can even begin working on the house. She has destoryed the kitchen in her apartment as well as many walls. The only reason my husband and I are considering this house and are willing to put in the extra money is becuase it is his family home. Both the sister that owns it and my husband want to keep it in the family. There is no other renter and I am not even sure the sister that lives there has been paying any rent. My husband and I would be willing to help her move into an apartment that is income based, even find her furniture that wasn't infested. But she would have to pay for it herself.
