The Seller is claiming the EMD ($3,400) is now his, and won't sign the Notice of Cancellation to release the EMD back to me.I told the Sellers Agent that I am willing to split this 50/50 just to not deal with this, but the Seller is bitter and won't agree. 

Hey @Andrew GordonCheck out this brand new Bigger Pockets book (releasing on Monday)!

@Gail K.There are window bars that can be installed with an internal release mechanism.

Or in her Will, a donation to a charity, or her financially struggling sister.I don't think I would release this amount of money to anyone without a court order--because who knows who it belongs to--it seems like part of the "Estate".

I personally would move to release the tenant from the lease as the property is now untenable, and having them on a lease is just another complication.

We are past the 10 day discovery/inspection date the earnest money has been released so now all we do is wait for the closing and we still live in the house.  

It's possible they'll decide to move out, but then you can release it at the market rate. 

We bought a property from a seller who later found out his bank couldn't release his property from the portfolio without a big payoff.

Many celebrated that ruling and started talking about going forward with evictions.

Is there anyway I can release partial deposit so they can make rent payment and avoid late fee?
