Tax Sale Eviction With Bought a home..cat lady is inside

[Obi Linton]

I searched the data base and didn't find any post that was similar to my issue so here is my question, I need help. I am a new investor IN PA. I purchased a home from TAX sale and the property is occupied by the cousin of the previous owner who died a while back, allegedly the care taker. The home is a mess and doesn't even look livable, so basically she is squatting off her dead cousin. I was looking at the location, because it looked vacant and suddenly the cat lady appeared out of no where, I apologized for scaring her and she was very nice. Its obvious she doesn't really have anyone to talk to because she couldn't wait to tell me her entire story. What stuck out was how she doesn't have any money and how someone she will get the money to pay the taxes..Fast fwd I bought the house and she has to go. I have ZERO interest in renting to her I just want her out. Whats my best move to get her out.

People over profits.

I’ve had the same situation. I understand that you are not the United Way, but unfortunately you have stumbled into a situation that you need to assist in.

Talk to local authorities and find a social worker to help get her onto a government program that can help with her rent and get her into a government housing program.

You may be able to do an evection, but given the situation and COVID 19, The courts will be very lenient.

There are programs out there to help her, but plan on taking the next 90 days to get this situated and be very kind during this process.

That’s just my two cents.
