Should I get new tenant when moving in

[Patryk Prokopiuk]

Closing on my first side by side duplex & will be living in one unit.

The other is tented out to a family for 10 years. So they are reliable but also underpaying the normal rent in this area by about $250/month (rate has not changed in 10 years).

Previous owner didn’t live there so the tenant also has 3 of his sons cars in the 4 car garage (basically took over it) and 2 more out side of the garage. One old Oldsmobile sitting in the side of the garage with overgrown grass and the other they use.

Now i already submitted and had my offer accepted but my wife want us to put in the contract that the tenant has to move out by closing. I told her we didn’t submit an offer with those terms and if we want to change it then the offer has to be changed and re-evaluated by the seller.

I get her perspective, i want them out but don’t see a way to do this easily or smoothly. How would you approach this?
