Former Owner Rights in New Hampshire
Our house was sold at auction last month, and we are still in the house. Today I came home from work to find 3 men on my porch poking around. I went out and found out they are the new owners, just closed on it today. They handed me a form saying they are coming in the house on Tuesday at 3:00 to do an inspection. They also asked when I was moving out and I told them I had no idea since for 6-8 months nobody from anywhere has been willing to talk to me about this. They want me out ASAP. I talked to the atty who handled my banruptcy and he said they cannot come into the house without evicting me. When I called the owner to tell him this, he says my attorney is incorrect and that we are now effectively his tenants and he can come in anytime with a 24-hour notice. 1) is he correct or my atty? and 2) since my boyfriend and I both owned the house, does the new owner have to pay for and go through 2 separate evictions to get us out, or just 1? Is it possible I could come home one day and find myself locked out without any warning? We'd like to work out a deal with him to leave, but he came on very forcefully out of nowhere, so I'm not sure where things are going to go. Thank you for any information on this.
