Seller not evicting tenant
I have a SFH property under contract in Cleveland OH and hope to close in the next 3 weeks. Seller had promised to evict the tenant and told me a court has ruled for the tenant to be evicted. My realtor amended the purchase agreement and put a clause in that states the property will be delivered vacant and seller agreed. Now seller is saying the tenant made a payment and therefore cannot initiate the eviction. The lease agreement is outdated but still seller is saying he cannot evict the tenant. What do I do now, since I don't want to deal with a tenant who obviously has financial issues and cannot make rent payments on time.
