Looking to buy and house hack a duplex currently occupied.

So I'm looking to buy a duplex to house hack. Only problem is, everything in my area is already occupied. If I were to purchase the property, are the current tenants required to vacate? What are the laws regarding this? What can be done to vacate one or both of the units, so that I can move into one? Need to know before I sell my current home. Thank you in advance!

@Kevin Sobilo that's a good idea! I will definitely have my agent check all the leases and make sure it can be vacant before closing. I would love to find something unlivable/vacant like you mentioned. However, I am also moving my family into it. We want something we can at least live with for a while. Do some moderate upgrades, and save for the next investment. Thanks for the input!
