Q: can a seller require you to close early on a house by threatening to make you wait another week if you dont
already have a closing date for friday may 26, buyter trying to make us close on thursday by threatening to make us wait til next week if we dont close early
A: Isn't that Memorial Day Weekend? Oh, well. The real answer is in the contract, and you can get a consult with a lawyer to advise you on the deadlines and the strictness of them as recited in the contract. Then, you can review the likely damages from having closing delayed a few days to determine whether it is worthwhile to insist on your position. I suspect the issue isn't worth the cost of the contract review and consult for you, but any competent lawyer needs the review to give you a reliable answer.
