You have the most amount of "influence" over the Seller before the sale closes. Make it a condition of your purchase that the Tenant is out and that the trash is out before the close of escrow. Until escrow closes, the noted problems are the responsibility of the owner. After escrow closes, the problems and related expenses will be all yours.
Be sure you read through the Landlord Tenant Laws for the State/County/City where the rental property is located to find out who is responsible for the current Tenant's Security Deposit. If the Tenant is still in the property when the sale closes, you could "inherit" a debt...
