@Chris Seveney, but you forgot to mention that the email subject had 3 fire emojis, 3 dollar sign emojis and some arrows to make sure you see it.This reminds me of a the language the Mogul Club uses.  

If there is contigency language in the contract then I would leverage that language to cancel the deal if it's not going to work & request the EMD back. 

Depends on the contract language, but under typical language the seller is obligated to the sale if all contract terms have been met, and the jilted buyer can usually get a legal block prohibiting the sale to another party.

However, if the lock issue was caused by misuse or accidental damage on the tenant’s part, then the tenant might be responsible for the expense.It’s always best to review the lease agreement first to see if there’s specific language about repairs or locksmith services.

@Tanya Maslach The operating agreement language will be drastically different for an LLC that owns/operates real estate compared to the operating agreement used for your media company.

If the language is in the contract, can it be cancelled and EMD be refunded?

Just use plain language and facts to show them the other side of the argument. 

The plain language of the statute, the legislative history, and our state's important policy of providing protection for low-income tenants all support the conclusion that the statute encompasses Section 8 vouchers.

Most of the NAA-based leases that I have seen have specific language about how long a guest can stay. 

If you ever want to see the difference in person, just try running a cheapo Chinese nail into an old-growth 2x4 and watch it bend in half.
