Should I replace the roof with tenants in place?

Hey guys,

I just closed on my first duplex and the roof is pretty outdated (20 years old). It is in working condition but has a leak and should be replaced - I want to replace it for personal peace of mind and insurance purposes. I inherited two solid MtoM tenants that are paying $1,100 each, way below market rent of $1,650. I'm going to give them the option of staying for $1,580 or leaving in 30 days (Florida law is 15 days but I want those extra days to replace the roof). I want to start the roof replacement ASAP so the property is rent-ready if in the case the tenants do decide to move out.

Is it okay to replace the roof with the current tenants there? Would this be a violation of their quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the property? How should I go about this?

I truly appreciate your help!
