How does the eviction process work after a home has been foreclosed on. How long do the previous owners get to stay in the house? Find the answer here.
The eviction process varies from state to state but, pretty much, the eviction process works like this:
When a home is foreclosed, the new owners can send a legal notice to the previous owners to leave the home through a notice that is good for a set amount of hours.
If the previous foreclosed on owners don’t leave within that set period of time, the new owner can go to court and present his case to the judge.
At the hearing, the judge will decide if the previous owners should be evicted or not as well as how long they can stay before they have to leave. If they are willing to pay rent, they can prolong their stay.
If the judge decides the previous owners have to leave and they are not happy with his decision, they will be given a specific period of time to appeal.
If the previous owners have been ordered to get out and they don’t move out on their own by the date specified in the order, the new owner can have the sheriff come and physically remove them and their items from the premises.
A sheriff will give the previous owners notice that they will be there in less than a certain number of hours and that the previous owners have that much time to get out on their own.
Anything left in the house is moved by the sheriff into storage. The previous owners will have to pay fees to get it out of storage.
If the previous owners go back to the premises, they can be arrested for trespassing.
