有时候在搜房网站上你会看到一个明显低于市场价的房子，例如图中这个Jersey City的condo，600 sqft市价怎么也要40万左右，为什么这个房子开价31万，降价6万，有一万多个阅读，120人收藏，3个多月了仍然没有卖出去？
因为Protected Tenant in place.
什么是Protected Tenant? 基本上是指老人，残疾人。
Senior citizens qualify for protection from eviction if they
(1) have an income not higher than three times the per capita (average) income in the county they live in or $50,000, whichever is greater;
(2) have lived in the building for one year or have a lease with longer than a one-year term;
(3) are over 62 years old;
and (4) live in a building containing at least five rental apartments.
Disabled people qualify if they are unable to work because of a physical or mental impairment, or they are veterans who have a service-connected disability of 60 percent or more.
Disabled people must also meet the income standards and have lived in the building with at least five rental units for one year, or have a lease with longer than a one-year term. Cite: N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.24.
怎么解决protected tenant问题呢？
通常来讲有这么几种方法。
第一种，买房的时候联合卖家（现房主）一起去和租客谈判，给租客一笔钱，请神让位。这笔钱由买卖双方协商共同负担。这种方法的大前提是，租客愿意拿钱走人。
第二种，如果房子是多家庭的，并且含有不超过3间公寓，并且现房主或者未来的房主（买家）会自住其中一间，可以在租房合同到期后，通过给租客2个月的提前书面通知，来“请”走租客。这种方法如果遇上长期租房合同或者像上面例子中的condo（非多家庭），就无法奏效。如果用这种方法赶走了租客后，房主并没有真的去自住，租客可以把房主告上法庭，房主需要承担租客数倍的损失。
