What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
We entered into A purchase agreement contract 18 months ago. Long story short the buyers could not secure financing and when the final extension was up they not only refused to pay rent but refused to vacate after proper notice was given. We went to court and won and judge gave them 10 days to vacate. They moved on 10th day and we went to house with our agent for a walk thru, agent handled ecerything for us in regards to contract. When we entered the home we were in shock to discover the amount of damage to house, its 2300 sq feet with 2 car garage. Every inch was damaged by digs, we agreed to one dog but found out thru neighbors they were breeding pitbulls! The garage was destroyed, feces everywhere, dogs chewed thru the garage out the exterior and several areas outside of home the siding was clawed and chewed thru, the lawn was beautifil with flower garden and all destroyed, this was our home prior to moving, lived there 15 years! The wood swingset we put in conveyed and was 3 yrs old bought for grandkids, destroyed. Holes everywhere and fence destroed. Inside was like a kennel, doors, trim baseboards drywall all destroyed from dogs. Fixtures all broke from who knows what. We are not landlords, we were selling this home to them and they absolutely destoyed it. Any advice? We took pictures but have no clue where they went to file a suit for damages. The clerks office said we are out of luck if we cant provide address to sue. We know where the guy wirks but thats it. And can we sue for all damages?
Thank you
