Q: I recently bought property from a friend. We closed escrow May 13 but she won't leave. What do I do?
We have both resided on the same property for 3 years. I recently bought it and she was supposed to leave for New Mexico. Our purchase agreement says property will be delivered at funding. Now she has had all of the money for almost 6 weeks and has only packed a few boxes and there is trash everywhere. What do I need to do to have her removed.
A: You will have to hire a competent OR attorney to file an eviction proceeding.
A:
If you have not contacted a local real estate or landlord tenant attorney, you should do so to have them review the purchase agreement. They can review the agreement and help you with the next steps.
Good luck.
