Can someone teach me how to convince the landlord to rent a commercial property to me?

rent property

I am interested in a commercial property which is currently leased by someone. I plan to take over it due to a business and there is no bad intention on my part. Heard that this tenant can’t pay his rental. I have approached the management about renting a small space from it. They told me to speak to the tenant which I did. He rejected me. Can anyone give me some idea on how to convince the management that I would be a potential tenant and may help the tenant to ease his burden.

    If the current tenant is under contract there’s nothing you can do other than pay them off if they’ll move in exchange for cash, or wait for the eviction to take place.

    They already told you, talk to the tenant. There’s going to be a contract in place, the landlord cannot break it.

    Something does not make sense.

    The tenant is behind in his rent?
    The tenant does not want your help==or
    do you want to use the space for another purpose?

    how about hiring a buyer’s agent and seeing if the owner will sell it. They will for a premium–an amount above the fair market value.
