I'd work with the renter. Why d*ck him over and be a total jerk about it just because you can?

I'm not trying to D*ck him over, the owners should have been responsible in letting him know about the sale. They had plenty of time to come up with a plan and we were told the tenant leaving wouldn't be an issue when we placed the initial offer. I feel for the guy, he's not to blame per say, but he is the issue that's holding up the closing. A 30 day extension for the rate amounts to about $1500. Not a lot in the big picture but still a good amount. I'm not trying to be a jerk. We were lied to and now we're going to end up losing money for no reason. It could have been avoided if they told us when he could really leave at the beginning of negotiations. We wouldn't have bothered locking in the rate had we known.
