The most classic example is a &#039;Private Purchase and Sale Agreement&#039; (an informal contract) signed with someone believed to be the owner, or an unregistered divorce settlement.<\/p>\r\n                <\/details>\r\n                <details class=\"faq-item\">\r\n                    <summary>Is it possible to add my tenure time to that of the previous tenant?<\/summary>\r\n                    <p>Yes.
