A: Generally, after purchasing in foreclosure you may remove a former owner through a Housing Court proceeding. It may be tempting to consider serving your own predicate notices. However, even a small error in such notice can result in dismissal of your entire case after months of litigation. In addition, there have been a number of changes in how to proceed as a result of Covid related Executive Orders, Administrative Orders and Statute. Another reason to retain experienced counsel.
