You don't know who the xxx these people are so just plain go in and secure the unit.Tell your PM you want photo's of inside and out and if you have to board up the window's from the inside or whatever you want it done,, NOWthese are tenants they are trespasser they have no rights or claims to your property,, they broke in and you have every right to secure and protect your building. 

I have heard of new owners offering $$$ equal to 2 months rent relocation fee to people out in XXX days..

Send move out statement, that shows the deposit was applied toward the rent for the period of xxx date to xxx date,, any charges for damages are extra, mail out within the proper time period for your state.check you state landlord tenant laws for interest rate you may be required to also pay for the time you had the security deposit in your possession.
