Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

We purchaced a house that was in forclosure, listing agent and our relator informed us that price was accepted. Our first deposit to the title company was dated for october 20th 2010, since that time we have signed 4 new addendums extending the contract. we took out a mortgage on our existing home to pay in full for the property.

I have asked the title co. and our relator for a quick closing, as my son had given his notice at current rental, and would need to move in as soon as possible. Listing relator informed us that the title is not clear yet, but if we did not want to wait for clear title , we could get a full refund. I was informed by palm bch county courthouse there was a clear title signed on Dec. 15th. At that time I was given the name of the attorney representing the property, when I called I was informed there would be a hearing on Feb 3rd, and should be able to close 2-3 weeks after. My issue is, We do not have the funds to store my sons furniture, so I had my son move his belongings in the house. I received a call from listing agent informing us the contract would be void if he did not move his furniture out, as that was trespassing.

I have put 10K in closing cost along with truck rental and other related fees, will I be compensated if I do ask for our money back and cxl the contract, since they did not come up with a clear title after 3 months. My relator was informed we could not rent the house until they have a clear title?

Thank You,

Susan
