breach of contract?

[Buyer_Newbie]

Thanks for all the info/advice. I hope it doesn’t turn into the worst case scenarios mentioned here.

The sellers get the keys to their new place a few days after COE. It is a royal pain for us if they don’t move out b/c we have made arrangements for flooring to get done. There’s also a complicated financial strain if we ourselves delay moving. As much as we don’t want to be jerks about it, I don’t feel it’s right for them to throw this on us so late in escrow.

If they physically cannot move then they cannot move. Not much that can be done there.

If you can indeed show documented costs that you have incurred due to the sellers defaulting on the close of escrow date then you should be able to get an addendum signed that will charge them for the rent back and recoup you the dollars that you lost pushing the date out. If they do not agree to pay then you can try to recoup costs in court after escrow closes as well. Technically once escrow closes the home is yours and you can start eviction proceedings. However I think you will find that going that route is not going to help you much.

My advice would be to be cooperative with a firm understanding that the sellers will recoup your costs in one way or another.

So keys were to be given to us at 5 today. Got there to see their stuff still all over the place. Sat on the curb waiting for 2 hrs waiting for their agent to come, which she never did. She stopped answering her phone after a while. What now? This has been a huge nightmare!

Take some pictures to get evidence of the condition of the home. Save all of your receipts for the cost of disposing of their stuff and then go to small claims to try to recoup those costs.

Call the listing agents broker to complain about the entire process. Talk to your agent and/or your agents broker and consider filing a complaint with the DRE if the broker feels their is grounds to do so.
