<P> A sitting tenant is a tenant already in occupation of premises , especially when there is a change of owner . Sitting tenants can result from a failure to evict an assured shorthold tenant following a change of owner or where there is a protected tenancy . Where a landlord sells a property but fails to evict a tenant the new landlord is said to ' step in the shoes ' of the old landlord and the terms of the tenancy continue . </P>
