I brought a house and the closing is complete. Now the previous owners of the property say that they will not move out of the property for 5 more days. What do I do now? I have left my rented property.
Didn't you give them an eviction notice? Check out your contract as well in order to know when they are supposed to leave the property.
If your contract provided for possession at closing you could go through an eviction process but it would take more than 5 days. You should be entitled to damages for your interest expense, taxes, insurance costs, attorney fees and any other expenses that you incurred as a result of their breach of contract. You might contact an attorney and/or sue them in small claims court
