New Purchase with existing tenant problems!

Hello All,

I would love to gather some ideas and recommendations from any landlords who have had a problem like the one below...

I just closed on a duplex on 04/23 and it came with existing tenants. The property was being managed by a PM who provided me with the tenant's contact information. I reached out to introduce myself so I would be able to have the tenants set up their tenant profile accounts on the management system I use.

The tenants I'm seeking advice for just signed a new year lease with the PM 03/01/2021 and it ends 02/28/22. There are two people on this lease. Once I introduced myself as the new property manager I was immediately informed by one of the tenants on the lease that it is not working out. 

I couldn't make this up.......... The tenants are both in a polyamorous relationship with one of the tenant's baby's father. From what I can tell, this boyfriend to both tenants is also living there (He isn't on the lease, but that's another problem for another day). The tenant that wants to move out told me she doesn't stay at the property on weekends because that is the agreed private time between the boyfriend and the other tenant. 

The tenant that wants to move now is claiming she wants to move because even after giving them private weekends the other tenant is asking she doesn't come home and gives them more private time.....? (I'm at a loss for words).

The tenant who wants to stay is saying she doesn't have a problem paying everything by herself and having the other leave. 

Because I purchased this property with these existing tenants and existing leases what am I allowed to do? Or anyone who has had this problem, what do you recommend? 

Thank you in advance for any answers!!!!
