I Need some Home Ownership/Real Estate Advice

You need to think about the renter. He's the innocent victim in this. He knows he needs to leave and he's making plans to do so. Think about yourself in that situation. Is a few more days really going to make that big a difference in your life? Chances are you'll be there for the next five years or more. Are you even going to remember those 15 days 5 years from now? 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.
