@Joe Splitrock During our last walkthrough (approximately 2 weeks before closing) I personally observed the water being turned off at the meter.  Unfortunately, even with the meter being turned all the way off, water was still getting through.  

I guess I wasn't sure of the legality of busting down the door, as well as the fact that it might look very suspicious in this particular area.  If you guys are saying that the fact that them not giving me keys has no legal grounds though, I might just have to eat it.

@Michael Ablan this deal has been ongoing since May.  We have done multiple walk throughs, and closing continued to get pushed and pushed and pushed.

There hasn't been a tenant in the property for some time.

Recently we purchased a vacant property that was part of a package of properties.  The properties were purchased from a seller that was forced to sell the properties as part of a city crackdown on slumlords, and the city had assigned a property management company to manage the properties back in May.  We closed on December 28th, and after going round and around multiple times, I was finally able to get keys to the properties today, January 8th. The property management company said they could not give me keys because their lawyers could not confirm the closing, even though everything was completed on the 28th.

Today after receiving the keys I went to the properties and talked to the tenants in the ones where there were tenants, and when I got to the vacant one, I could hear water running inside.  When I opened the door I was astounded to find both the bathroom sink and kitchen sink running, with both drains clogged, and water pouring onto the floors in both areas and going through the floor into the basement.  In addition, there is now mold covering all of the walls and obviously huge repair costs.

What are my options? Do I go after the property management company?  I am still in shock and looking for any help that you can provide. Thanks! 

Hey everyone, I'm at the beer garden, just wondering where everyone is at?
