Best thing to do is call the utility company and make sure they are in your name and ask them if they can transfer the balance from the date of move-in to your account. 

When your parents quit claim to you is the date relinquished.

If the leases were at or near term on the closing date there's negligible amount to credit to the buyer. 

All my business loans to date have been built out or for machinery, not for a house.

Starting in a new business that you little experience in, that is 1,000 miles away, being overseen by someone that you met off the internet and you are doing it with other people's money is a recipe for disaster.

In the future, always do a final walk-through on the way to closing, and write into the contract a monetary penalty for failing to deliver possession by closing date (I use $250-1,000/day depending on the value of the property).  

They are in fairly good shape, but the kitchens have limited cabinet and counter space, and both the kitchens and bathrooms are dated.

I use Smartbnb and it alerts me when I get a booking and the calendar can’t be synced so I can manually block dates until it is resolved.

I want this guy out NOW rather than wait for a court date.

The property is still under construction, but I'll be ready for tours on X/X/XXXX date.
