Q: Can they not give us the 3 weeks to get our stuff legally since the house is now theirs
The house I lived in has been foreclosed on and now sold ,the attorney requested 3 weeks for us to get our stuff and the new owner said yes now they are talking about we can’t stay there in order to get our stuff and shortening the time
A: You need to leave as soon as possible. But the owner cannot obtain possession without a Detainer Warrant. It must be filed, served or posted, then a Judgment For Possession goes down in Court. If you are not out in 10 days, then the Owner gets the Sheriff to physically remove you with a Writ of Possession.
