The hurricane really screwed it all up for you. I would have probably just asked them to push it back a few days, but so it goes.

That said, If you signed, you own it. Go to home depot, but a couple deadbolts and either break into the home or get a locksmith to open it for you and change the locks.

You should change the locks anyway since you never know who might have a key.

As far as the trash and garbage, there's always something. Just clean it up and move on. If there was a list of agreed upon fixes, hold them accountable. If you don't have it in writing, don't expect anyone to fix problems unless you nag them relentlessly.

You should have done a walk-thru just prior to close. You could have made notes and had it addressed and held off signing until an agreement was made.

At this point though? It's yours, go enjoy it and waiting for other people is just going to be frustrating.
