Just bought house with inherited tenants and they don't allow me

[Amalfi Duran]

I just got a property in TX for 125K if renovated bathrooms and kitchen will appreciate to 190k as per appraisal. I took a hard money loan including money for the renovation. Now the tenant is giving me a hard time, they don't want me to renovate but i need to do it before March so i can refinance to conventional loan. 

Tenant has a lease with the previous owner that will expire in Sep, 2020. For my lease, they verbally agree they will allow me to do renovation if they get a month to month lease because they are looking into buy a house soon.  Tenants has not called my contractor to give a day to start renovation and even has not responded to my property manager so they can sign lease. This hard money loan will be very expensive if i don't resolve this issue soon. HELP! 

What can i do?
