How to handle disagreeable tenants?

Hi Bigger Pockets.

What do you do if your roommate tenants don't "like" each other? I've recently offered a lease renewal to my 3 roommate tenants - 2 of which have been living together for years - and It's just now come up that the two (girls) that have been roommates for years don't necessarily like living with their newer (guy) roommate, and would prefer if he left. They're not happy with the noise and "lack of cleanliness" in the common areas, and ultimately don't feel comfortable with him there - I didn't know any of this before hand. I'm not particularly sure what to do with this situation. He hasn't broken anything in the lease, and I've already offered him a chance to renew - I offered it to the group as a whole. It seems kind of ****** to now rescind that offer, not to mention I'm not sure what legal ramifications it could have at this point. I wish I had I known before hand - I would have not asked him to renew - but now it's tricky, and I'm not sure there's anything I can do. ideally I'd like to preserve the two girl roommates and have them find a replacement. No real issues with the guy, but I'd much prefer someone who's going to keep the place nice, clean, and quiet and would much prefer my tenants get along. 

I should probably mention that I inherited these tenants, and this current lease. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Abdul
