Sold my house now I am being sued ...

Good evening BP,

I sold a house we owned for ten years a month ago. Great sell 35k over asking. We had to kick the tenants out one day prior to the sell and turn over the keys the next morning to the attorneys. Then the complaints came in.

1) my property manager said they cleaned and during the final walk through I had to delay closing for 6 hours to get the PM back over to the house to clean. 

2) keys were turned over already so they could not enter the house legally.

3) the sell was 30 days ago; yesterday I got an email from the buyers realtor that the house was not cleaned and the house was a disaster and that legal action is going to be taken against me because we never cleaned the place. This was the first I heard of any problems since the sell.

4) I live 900 miles away, I told the realtor to call the PM not me, gave them their number, CC'd them to inform them of a potential issue. I also told her to directly email me since I cannot help from afar.

5) Today I get five emails from her stating I took advantage of them. I have until 5pm to get the house cleaned or else.

6) The PM emailed her asked her to call and she did not. She ended up e-mailing them at 435pm.

7) As I am trying to relax I get another email saying I took advantage of the situation and did not help, that she took appropriate action and legal action is pending.

I think this family is attempting to strong arm me ... Cannot prove it, buy I feel I am being harassed now ...

What should be my next action?
