An individual or corporation that purchases a property at a foreclosure sale can bring a landlord/tenant proceeding to evict the individuals who reside at the residence.
Exhibiting the Deed
Before bringing a landlord/tenant proceeding the owner of the property which was purchased in a foreclosure sale must deliver a copy of the deed to the residents of the dwelling showing they purchased the property. The copy of the deed served on the individuals residing in the premises must be a certified copy.
10 Day Notice to Quit
Prior to bringing the landlord/tenant eviction proceeding, the individuals residing in the house must receive a 10 day notice to leave the premises. In the event a copy of the deed is not properly served on the individuals residing in the house, the landlord/tenant case and 10 day notice are defective and an application can be made to the court to dismiss the landlord/tenant proceeding based on this defect.
