They are frozen in time.As to your move to the US.

Before we even moved in, I had to get the master bathroom shower working (the valve had become 'frozen' by mineral deposits from untreated well water -- neglect from the previous owner). 

I was using Cozy and I had a tenant claim their bank account had charges they did not know about and had their account "frozen". 

The other day I received a text form my tenant "I'm just returning from vacation, and it appears the water inside the house was frozen from the tips of the faucet, and I believe the pipes froze and possibly busted".

In the case of this unit, the vents were completely frozen over and no cold air could make it into the fridge.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in repairing or replacing frozen pipes serving Premises if such freezing is the fault of Tenant, Tenant's family, employees, agents or guest.7.

I've never had a power outage, but have had frozen pipes when it gets below zero and lots of wind. 

This could be years that you are frozen in place.

So you're literally frozen, losing $ - this thing needs to be sold with a quickness.
