Can They Just Move In With Him? Because That Could Be A Sitcom Right There
-
Did you know that you could buy a house and the previous owner could refuse to move out and there's nothing you can do, at least for now? That's what happened to one couple, who paid cash for a house because the owner needed that cash fast; they closed escrow, became rightful owners, then found that the seller had taken the money and is refusing to leave, taking advantage of the pandemic's no-eviction rules in a way those rules were not meant to be applied. They can't get rid of him. I don't even know how you can protect yourself against this, other than the general rule that if any strange things like an eagerness to sell and get the cash pop up during the process, maybe you shouldn't proceed with the deal.
