这个公寓里的租客是DSS，一个年轻女孩，好像有点mental方面的问题，她还有一个carer住在公寓里照顾她。我担心以后租客福利减少付不起房租，就跟中介说想把租客请出去以后再成交，中介回复说他们的合同是跟一个公司签的，公司再把房子给租客住，不会有问题的。我发邮件要求看看他们的租房合同再考虑考虑，得到如下的回复：
Regarding the Tenants at xxxxxxxxxxxx, we have been in the process of renewing their contract so we are currently at the stage where they have paid the renewal fee and new contracts have been sent to them – However, these have not yet been signed so are not legally binding. If you are sure that you don’t want to keep these Tenants, then the only thing we can do is not renew on a fixed term but allow the contract to lapse into what we call a periodic tenancy which would allow you to serve notice at any time. However, this does not mean that they will vacate in March. Legally, we would have to serve them with 2 months notice from the rental date (which is the 14th) We are not able to take instruction from yourself to serve notice on the Tenant until you are the legal owner. Obviously the current Owner will not want to serve them notice as she knows they are very good Tenants – and also if the sale were to fall through for any reason then she would be left with an empty property thus losing rental income.
Is there any particular reason that you do not want to take these Tenants on? They have been in the property for 5 years and we have never had a problem with them – if it is just a case of being able to increase the rent then I am sure they would rather pay the increase than have to give up the flat.
现在不知道该怎么办，担心租客以后交不上租金不好赶，可是房东不愿意清租客，不知道该怎么办，求教大家支招。谢谢。

更新：
先谢谢大家的建议，我下午回复了中介，说了自己的担心和态度，中介立刻就回复了邮件，如下：
I think there has been some confusion - xxxxxxxxxx. is rented to a COMPANY called The Lodge Group, it is not rented to an individual Tenant. The Company are very well established and their credentials have been checked with Companies House. They rent several properties from us and we encounter no problems with them at all. The reason the Contract is in their name is because the Company are our Tenant and they are solely responsible for the rent, not the Individual person.
In the years that we have rented to The Lodge Group, the rent has been paid on time for every property – this is because it is paid by the Company and not by an Individual. Belvoir do not rent to people on DSS. The current Landlady of this property has been completely satisfied with the Company as her Tenant over the last 5 years and I think any Landlord would feel the same. “Company Lets” as we call them are far safer than when you rent to an individual person, because there is no fear of any of the problems that you have listed in your email below. Also, the property has just had a new kitchen fitted and been decorated, so there really is no need for you to have the added expense of refurbishment. In addition, you will not have any void period or loss of rent if you buy the flat with the Tenant already there.
If there is anything that you are unsure of, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions at all. I think it would be a great shame if you decided not to buy the flat – it is an extremely good buy to let property with an extremely good Tenant already in situ. If you really did not want this Company to remain in the property after you buy it then we can just give them 2 months notice to move out.
However, if you are absolutely sure that you want the property empty before you take over then I will speak to the current Landlady and see if she wants to serve them notice.
看着很有说服力，我又有点犹豫了，请大家再帮忙看看，给点分析建议，爱你们！
