QUESTION

Who does the tenant pay?

Asked on Jan 31st, 2016 on Real Estate - New York
More details to this question:
If I buy a condo with a tenant in place for another 7 months, who does the tenant pay rent to for the next 7 months, me (the new owner), or the old owner, with whom the lease was originally signed? And...if it's to the new owner, then why would someone sell their condo now when they have a tenant paying rent for the next 7 months?
