Talking to tenant prior to closing

[Konrad R.]

I want to remove one of the tenants in a duplex, so I can do major renovations. There is mold on the ceiling in her bathroom. I do not want to do remediation while they are in place. I'm debating on cash for keys.  The current property owner was not able to get her to break her lease.

What are your thoughts on approaching her tomorrow during the inspection? It would be before closing, so I can only get her thoughts on the matter. The owner of the property still hasn't provided me with the lease yet.
