A contract is a contract. The OP's contract was with the seller, not the real estate agent. If it's not in the contract, it doesn't exist, is what the judge is going to say.

The chances of even being able to "throw the tenant out on his ***" before his June 1 move-out date are negligible.

Actually you would be wrong.
The real estate agent is a broker when selling/buying a house and is legally obligated to report all information. One of the forums required to be filled out is a disclosure of information and question 4 on this form is, is there a current rental agreement contract or person living in the house.

Also, by the sounds of it the real estate agent has lied about the tenant living in the house, be if they said they would move out on X date or there is no rental agreement so they will move instantly. This is a huge no-no in the real estate world, the people I have spoken with on this matter have said the real estate has basically open them up to a lawsuit depending on how this plays out because of how they have handled this deal.
