That means that from that point on the tenant has a lot more rights and you can't 'get rid' of the tenant unless you go through court.

How would you proceed to secure this deal?

The seller can take you to court to force the purchase if they choose to.

I could be wrong here, so do your own due diligence but in my experience whoever is doing that work for you should be dispersing the proceeds appropriately.

Main reason is this is not settled in the courts for really anyone. 

The ball gets placed back in their court and they have the choice to further negotiate, say no we stand by the price you offered, or terminate the contract altogether and you get your earnest money back if they doHope that helps, had a realtor try and tell me this as well

If the agreement to stay until 1/31/2022 was verbal, then the court would probably agree that they are under a month-to-month lease and can terminate with 30 days notice, since that's what the written agreement says.

I know I can file an eviction but we are 6 to 8 months behind on the court hearing.

Ovule you prevail in court, probably....unless the judge decides the seller was being taken advantage of.
