A: To get it removed, you will have to file an eviction. But it isn't a normal eviction where you just put the belongings out on the street. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney to review the situation and advise you.

A: I personally would need more information to answer this question. Did the buyer and seller have a written purchase agreement. Was there a time limit within which the buyer must move? Did the agreement set out remides for the buyer and seller in the event one failed to meet a condition subsequent? The answer to all of these will determine what actions the seller might take against the buyer. The seller may wish to file a complaint for injunctive relief. Expect to pay around 7-10K to get started depending on the jurisdiction.
