You should be sure that everything in the house is to code. Also be sure to make sure that the house you are buying doesn't have any sort of dangerous mold.

Do you have to honor a lease for tenants in a house you are buying in Louisiana?

The sale of a house does not terminate a rental agreement, but the rental agreement is with the former owner and not with the new owner, unless otherwise agreed in the sale. The former owner of the house is liable to the tenants for damages, unless otherwise stipulated in the rental agreement. You will have to evict the tenants to get them out, and they can sue the former owner. I don't think anyone would sell a house without some sort of transfer or termination of the lease. I am not a lawyer.

Is the buyer the owner?

The OWNER is listed on the TITLE and/or registration. The buyer actually becomes the owner when all financial obligations are paid in full. For instance... when you are buying a house you are considered to be an owner because you hold the deed. But, there is a Deed of Trust for the property, held by the lender. That gives the lender the right to take the property if the borrower defaults.
