Not sure if this is right section to post in but...
I've lived abroad for the past year and am now in process of moving back to hometown. My parents are in nursing home so their house is rented out to a tenant. Their lease is up in a few months and my new job is in the same area as family home, so I mentioned to my sister that I would take over lease once it ended for current tenants. I can afford the rent, I would be renting in this exact area anyway and I will be very near to nursing home which means I can help out more too. At first this was fine but now sister says it's a bad idea bec it will complicate things financially. We have joint power of attorney over assets. I have a family and I think she could be thinking that it will be impossible to remove us should our parents die and the house needs to be sold but I've already told her that in that instance, I'll either buy her out or if that's not an option, of course I'd sell. I have my heart set on moving in bec Its exactly what I'm looking to rent anyway. What can I do if she won't change her mind? Only her name is on lease as landlord as I was away when she took on tenants. I don't feel it's fair that she should be able to refuse me as it isn't her property and I know our parents would want the family home to have family in it rather then strangers. Thanks in advance for any advice.
