A Southern California lawyer specializing in eviction law says he is aware of around 8 similar cases.

Word to the wise - Never close on a property until the seller or tenant has vacated.

Then change all locks immediately.

This one had hair on it prior to the closing. The seller called a random real estate agent and said he had to sell in two weeks.

A federal tax lien was discovered a few days before closing. The seller had not disclosed the lien, which should have put the buyers on notice.

The buyers agreed to pay off the lien; at that point, the deal should have been put on hold until the price was adjusted and the seller made to vacate.

Or just walk away.

Too bad these losers who bought it probably don't believe in castle law. The guy is an intruder in their home. Shoot and kill him. Problem solved.

Bwhaha they should just call up and be like, yea, hi, we don't need our services at this time, please turn everything off. Bam, no more power, water, etc.

There is a three day right to rescind in California. They could have got all of their money back.

Lol
