That's an interesting scenario. I'm not so sure you'd need to honor those leases, as it sounds like they're tenants in common, where the RTA would not even apply. Their lease would not transfer to you, so really it would be seller's problem. You could dump them on their ass without repercussions, they'd need to pursue the seller in small claims for breaking the lease.

Even further if you moved in as the homeowner and landlord, now they'd be occupants/roommates which the RTA doesn't apply to either.
