why they don't leave these things alone I don't know.Here is the handbook, I think but I can't be certain if this is the most recent one. https://www.courts.ri.gov/Courts/districtcourt/PDF...

This could tie your property up in the court system for years. 

My question is, do I actually owe her anything, should I take her to court?

I’m sure there’s some law that says it must be fair and reasonable, but other than taking them to court, it’s doubtful that you’ll win that one.

You have to issue a 30 day notice before you file with the court, it takes around another 30 days to get your court date (60 day no rent on top of how many days it took you to decide) and if you don’t find him it is against the law to enter the unit and remove his personal items without his permission.

If he owed $200k, you could offer him $215k and make a mid-level profit.He can list it with an agent as a standard sale, have the agent send the Listing Agreement to the lender and request a postponement of the sale or BK discharge court date. 

At this point I'm getting a bad gut feeling looking through court records and thinking about lawyering up for immediate council and suggestions. 

auction .com sells court house steps and sells post sale..  

Don't get a lawyer that would be foolish frankly. read your purchase contracts most of them have mandatory mediation.. but even that will cost you 500 to 1000..what usually happens in these cases .. is the money sits there and then the title company interpleads it with the court..EM cant be released without mutual consent.. you can try small claims court.. 

You have to get an ejectment order from the court.
