They plan to leave the property to their sons.The way I see it my options are:  1)  Give up, take their word for it - it will not be owned by someone outside the family.2)  Go by in another week or so, talk in person and just make sure my name and face are fresh on their mind if they ever change their mind.3)  Try to talk to the owners and sons together. 

Just non renew at the end of their lease and start out fresh with new tenants.

From an investor perspective, a 1 bedroom apartment with garage in my area can rent out for $1000 easily.

Basically starting fresh and building relationships in the area.
