John is delusional if he thinks he's already their landlord. He's not;
they aren't John's tenants. What part of [he] doesn't own the house is
so hard for John to grasp?

He sure could. You can bet he's keeping an eye on everything that's
going on in that house. In fact, as the legal landlord, he has every
right to enter and look around the property. He could take one look at
these improvements and decide he doesn't want to sell. Until closing,
he can back out at any time.
