We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.

Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the seller? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
