In NE-We just purchased a home and are first time home buyers. We closed on the home and the contract stated the sellers would pay us rent for living there, install a new stovetop, and install neutral colored carpet in one room. The carpet installed was not a neutral color. We were told the stovetop and rent would have to be taken out of the escrow account. After having the stovetop installed, we contacted the title company about the rent money. We discovered the sellers have frozen the escrow account until we agree it is neutral color carpet. The lawyer at the title company is not returning our phone calls and seems to be assisting the sellers in the dispute over the contract.
Do we have any recourse for what was not completed by the sellers that was in the contract? How can they freeze the escrow account? Is the law office/title company violating any ethics by appearing to represent the sellers? Do we have any recourse at all?
