I saw a house for sale that has since been taken off the market but I was told by the agent that I could still make an offer. I happen to know that the current tenants don’t want to move. Is there a problem with me making an offer? It’s a very tight rental market so am I obligated to give them extra time to find a place when I make an offer?
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you are entitled to engage in your own needs and interests as Halacha dictates and is legally required. However, out of the Midas Hachessed and the quality of goodness inherent in our Torah, it is advisable that you should try to give them some extra time to find a place when possible.
