Tenant is leaving JUST before PURSHASE of the 2 family

I was hoping to purchase the home with paying tenants already, unfortunately that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. 

I do not own the home yet. But I will!!  I’m trying to be proactivate with this situation. I would like to suggest to the seller to acquire a new tenant with my specific lease agreement  that I have put together from a compilation of suggestions I’ve got from BP forums and podcasts.  Of coarse it would go through the legal process through the attorneys. Hopefully they would agree to this. 

Or should I just deal with the vacancy after I purchase the home?  

My question is how can I make this into a win/win situation?  I feel like my thinking process is in the right direction but not necessarily the right solution.

Yeah deal with this unexpected event after closing and find your own tenant. Asking the seller to find you a tenant probably won't go over well, and if they did, they'd probably put in the first warm body available.
