Also, in the rental agreement, it says:"HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNITY: OWNER of rental property shall not be liable forany damages and/or injury to TENANT and/or their guest(s), or their personal propertydue to TENANT’S acts, actions or neglect.

The two years of residence would tick back from when you lived in the home, which concluded in Sept 2021.The other piece to keep in mind, and again, I don't know where abroad you are living, but I would also consult a tax accountant familiar with the tax laws of that country, and the US tax treaty with that country, to confirm a gain wouldn't be inadvertently triggered for your country of residence.
