remove rental tenant from forclosure

[Dennis Davis]

Just purchased home from auction.com. How do I remove rental tenant?

[Charles Socci]

The tenant was served in the foreclosure as well as the prior property owner, and any subordinate lien holders.  The court system may empathize with them, and may not let you throw them out in 24 hours, but you can do an eviction and get them out.

Depending what you foresee your eviction costs to be, you may want to offer them "cash for keys".  Tell them if they leave peacefully, you will give them $xxx to return the premises to you clean and with no damage.  You might even get to keep your appliances.  $500 or $1000 might save you ten trips to the landfill, and some drywall repairs.
