 Under a normal sale in which the buyer takes occupancy right then.  There is a different protocol with a rental agreement.  The alarm code is not given out, to protect to resident. The keys are delivered at closing and the attorney affirms the temporary occupancy agreement and the date that expires.  

What this realtor did violated the oaths.  My question is not to establish the error, rather what course of action?  I have been told it is considered so bad, return of commission is on the table.

 The realtor, too.  She gave the alarm code AND the key pad instructions to a person who had no right to them, breaching her agreement with me and her oaths.  The realtor should have referred the landlord to me.

 I don’t know what all is missing.  Right now, I cannot locate my passport and a ring.

 With notice to me, the tenant. 

 I was the seller, and negotiated with my buyer that I could stay in the home, after closing, for X days for $Y rent.  This agreement was facilitated by my realtor.  It was during this time period, I walked in on the buyer, who confirmed the alarm code she used. It was the alarm code I setup for the realtors.  

Hello, the NAR referred me to legal counsel: my realtor, during my temporary occupancy agreement period, gave my buyer, not only the keys and the alarm code, but the instructions on how to disarm the alarm. I walked in to my home during the rental period, with no notification from my Realtor or buyer, to find the buyer with her painter in my home. I am not certain what items are missing. I was told that this is the most egregious breaches of a Realtors' Oaths and of course, breach of trust and that, at a minimum, I should receive the commission back.

Please let me know what you did if this happened to you and / or, what I should do?  I have reached out to the Realtor three (3) times and she has not responded at all.  Thank you for your input.
