This is a common occurrence in Colorado. After closing, a separate agreement called a "Post-Occupancy Agreement" can be negotiated where the person selling the home can become a tenant for no more than 60 days after the closing. If the Seller is determined to rent-back the house, your agent must make certain to get the Seller to cover the house with a short-term rental policy, and you can collect a fee to cover the costs of the time you are no able to move into your new house. Also be sure to collect a deposit to hold until the home is returned to you in the condition you last saw it.
