Seller breaching contract, now radio silent

[Shelly Hastrich]

I'm at lost for words. We put a contract on a home Jan 6th contingent on the sale of our home. The home we put a contract on has a trailer on the property and it was in the contract that it had to be removed by the seller. Our bank also said it had to be removed in order to close. We sold our home right away. Closing is scheduled on both homes April 2nd.  Feb 23rd we find out there's tenants in the trailer and he failed to give them notice. Property Disclosure states no one lives on the property. (The house itself is vacant. The tenants Supposedly "lawyered up" and want 90 days. Supposedly the seller offered them all these great options to try and get them to leave and they won't. We asked for preoccupancy since the house is vacant until he can remove them, this way we can close on our house. He verbally agreed to let us in on March 28th as well as agreed to pay our rate late extension fee. The seller and his lawyer have pretty much been mostly silent since then. We have not been able to get them to get the preoccupancy agreement in writing and get us in the house. All of the problems wrong with the house that he was suppose to be fixed have not been fixed yet. The septic for the trailer (not the house) is leaking into the entire front yard of the property. One of the large outbuildings that we need is filled with trash still. Our lawyer literally calls his lawyer daily and gets either no response or an email that's not answering our questions. Obviously we can't close Friday because my bank knows what's going on and won't allow it. My buyer knows what's going on and is willing to wait a LITTLE while but he wants his house. Can't blame him. My lawyer sent a preoccupancy contract over to the seller's lawyer in Monday and we STILL haven't heard anything. I have no idea what I'm suppose to do. I'm devastated. The market out here sucks and this house IS the house. My home is sold and I run a home business so I can't just rent or buy anything. I'm literally sick. My lawyer said I have to wait 30 days until after closing to do anything!!! How is that even possible??? Didn't he Beach the contract already by lying about the tenants?? If I wait 30 days, my family won't have a place to live!! This can't possibly be right.
