1031 Exchange Extensions

[Sam Cannata]

A situation arose with a 1031 exchange I am in the middle of in Denver, CO. Here is the timeline. 1031 started Jan. 2nd. Identified a property and closed Feb 26th. Gave the existing tenant 29 days to vacate the property March 26th. I have contractors scheduled to start the 6th of April with the intent of bringing the value of the property to the value of the exchanged property, to not lose any taxes. The tenant refuses to move out. Can I extend the Exchange period of 180 days to give myself more breathing room, due to delaying the construction process? Thanks!
