Tenants disputing that furniture was left to them by previous owners
Good day all,
I need some advice how to deal with this issue.
I bought an investment property with periodic lease and it was furnished as per the move-in report and original contract. Sale contract conditions have it in writing that “periodic lease “ with $xxx monthly and nothing else.
Now tenants are leaving and disputing that the previous owners gave them the furniture however I have asked my property manager/agent to push as per the contract and move in report.
Tenants have some emails from the previous owners and sellers agent promising furniture to them.
Do I own the furniture as the new owner of the property and how to deal if tenants dispute?
Please help as your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
[Edit: yes I want to keep the furniture and true they only have emails but nothing mentioned about furniture in the contract of sale.
Original lease is for furnished accommodation with all furniture and other items listed in the lease contract ]
