Tenant being evicted during sale of property

[Donald S.]

I'm lookout into buying a property, duplex in a c area. one long term tenant, but the other is being evicted. would you still continue with the deal or tell them the tenant needs to be out before closing? also the realtor didn't know how far along in the process the seller was in the eviction. @Peter MacKercher how long might it take to complete an eviction in St. Louis city? I'm getting a great price, but don't know if I should stipulate that the eviction needs to be complete. also any others questions I need to think about regarding the situation?
