Owner want to continue staying for 1 year after sale

I am planning to purchase a flat in a reputated apartment complex.

The flat I am interested in has following issue:-

The owner want to stay for 1 more year after the sale. 

Sale registry will happen now but he would leave after 1 year when his children exams are over. Till that time he would pay me rent.

Is there any complication in all this. Could he possibly owner refuse to vacate after a year and/or stop paying me rent?

Please let me know?

Regards.

It might lead to some complications in future if the owner refuse to vacate or pay rent.so better be careful

Hi Saravanan, thanks. Yeah I understand there could be problem.

But how different is it from a case when owner live as tenant after the sale registry. Compared to if I rent it out to a completely different person.

In both the case does it make a difference if not ready to vacate or pay rent. 

Will owner have more rights to continue to stay than a normal tenant?

Also what rights I have incase owner dont want to vacate or pay rent. How can I protect myself. What should I get written in sale deed and rental agreement? Should i get my rental agreement registered?

The owner once After he sold the property and occupying the premises under leave and licence agreement is no different from a regular tenant.
