SHERIFF SALE(pa) how to strategically remove occupants

Michael Kurtz

hello everyone,

I'm new to the site and this is my first post...

I buy many properties at sheriff sale and sometimes they're occupied by the former owner that has defaulted. I always go in w the "kind approach", but occasionally, they insist on staying. Keeping the law in mind, what can I do to legally make them uncomfortable to the point that they leave? Of course, I will also file legal methods to remove them, but it can take awhile. 

Can I enter daily, w 24 hr notice?

Do I have the right to get a copy of the key?

Can I begin construction, while allowing them to remain there?

Can I remove carpeting, doors, toilets, sinks, place a dumpster in driveway, blocking garage usage? Can appliances be removed? 

Any input is appreciated!!!
