It would probably help people answer your questions if you identified the city of the property. It's not like anyone will be able to say 'That must be Bob posting,' as rent control only exists in very populated areas.
Whoever had the property before should have transferred any security deposits with the property. The people will definitely want that amount back when they leave. Do you not have any records for the property?
You need to invest a couple hundred dollars in meeting with a local lawyer who specializes in rental issues. Spending that money now could save you thousands down the road.
