Advice Needed

[Lynn James]

I just purchased a home on March 28. I purchased the home knowing a tenant was inside...because the tenant told me they would move once the home was sold. Well that did not happen. Once I purchased the home the tenant now will not talk to me so I decided to go ahead at start the eviction process. I had the dispossessory served to the person living in the home (I don't want to call them a tenant because they are not my tenant). Once they were served they had 7 days to respond ..which they did. Now a court date has been set. Now I have to go to count towards the end of the month and mortgage is due on 4/1. Looks like I will be stuck paying for a home that I will never live in. I don't think this is fair. The only reason I believed the lady is because her lease wit the property management company was month to month and they had her stop paying them rent in December so she could move. So she has been living rent free since Dec. HELP. Can the judge allow her to stay longer?
