Miraggie | What to do when you buy a house and the previous owners won't leave? ? |
We closed on our house yesterday and the previous owners have not packed and show no signs of moving out. We told them it would be $40 a day for every day that they stayed after we took ownership. We told them they needed to give us a $500 security deposit as well. They would not sign the agreement or pay us. So now, basically we have squatters living in our house. They are not technically renters so it seems like it would be wrong to have to go through the whole 30 day eviction process. Does anyone have any ideas about what is done in a situation such as this? We are obviously very stressed. These people could do anything to our house.
Additional Details
They are previous owners. Not renters. That's why I don't know if I have to go through and actual eviction process or not. |

First observation, your real estate agent or lawyer did not adequately represent you in this closing, I would go back to either one and give them a little bite of your mind since they allowed you to be placed in this situation
In hindsight you should have never closed while the old owners where still in possession of the house period, this is basic closing procedure hence not sure why your real estate agent or lawyer allowed this to happen
Today to cover your buts, should file a thirty day notice to terminate landlord tenant relationship, absent any agreement in the closing, it maybe the only venue available to you to get them out
It will be hard after the fact i.e. the closing to demand certain monies per day or demand security deposit etc, this all should have been agreed to at closing when you held all the cards, back again to you real estate agent and attorney ,
Also remember this is your property, I would also give notice that in 24 hour you will be entering the home to video document the current condition of the house, and will hold the old owners liable for any damage caused at move out, also since its your place give proper notice that on Sunday/ Saturday you will be coming by to do some lawn work i.e. you get the picture do not make it comfortable to stay in your house, keep going by walking the property etc , which is your legal right with proper notice i.e. usually 24 notice
Talk with the police but my guess based upon this fact pattern they are going to say it’s a civil contract matter, and most likely now has turned into a landlord tenant situation even though you never agreed to such it maybe based upon the allowing the closing to proceeded knowing full well they where still in the house and failure to make contingency agreement at the closing of how long they would stay, amount of monies to be paid, etc
That’s why I have no idea what you paid your agent and lawyer for this type of advice |

Contact your realtor or the person who handled the closing. You may also want to speak with an attorney immediately...and to your lender who is handling your home loan. |

Talk to your lawyer asap. You should not have closed as they have not left the premises. Good luck with this. |

Does your contract not include a clause as to when you are to take possession? If it does and they are squatters, call the Police. |

this is ridiculous and outrageous. i'm sorry that this is happening to you. you need to speak to your real estate attorney right now. what you can do depends on the purchase contract as well as the state/country that you live in. |

Call the police and have the police deal with them. It is your house. They are trespassing. |

Call police to remove them. They are tresspassing. Photo any damage done so you can sue in small claims court. Set up hidden camera outside in case of any retaliation attacks come. |
