Prescription is not the same, however, because titleacquired under it is presumed to have resulted from a lost grant, as opposed to the expiration of the statutory time limit in adverse possession.Real PropertyTitle to land is acquired by adverse possession as a result of the lapse of the Statute of Limitations for Ejectment, which bars the commencement of a lawsuit by the true owner torecover possession of the land.

In Florida, we have to file for "Ejection".

That way they can fast-track their commissions and the buyer can choose to "eject" if they give their equity in exchange for time.  

The alternative (in my state) is ejection, which is more costly than eviction.

Fortunately the lawyer that handled the sheriffs sale had filed a Writ of Ejectment, which gave me all rights to possession and gave me the ability to immediately have any occupants removed by the sheriffs department.

COVID restrictions offer protections too that can go beyond what the PTFA offers.But most foreclosures are of owner occupants, and those people are not removed by eviction actions; instead, an ejectment must be performed.

If you wanted to take lawful possession and make your improvements, they are claiming, you should have filed an ejectment lawsuit. 

now with covid— are ejectment suits being acknowledged by circuit court?

After the buy out failed, we had to have them ejected through the courts.   

I am unsure of their status as paying tenants, but need to figure it out so that I can either collect rent from them or evict / eject and get new tenants.
