SHERIFF SALE(pa) how to strategically remove occupants
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!!!
