    Default Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act

    My question involves a foreclosure in the State of: Floida

    I have just purchase a property at a foreclosure sale. It appeared the property was vacant now it appears their is someone living in it.

    What would be the best steps to take to notify tenants/squatters/owners?

    Could I file for a Writ of possesion ( it was granted in the final judgement) but with the new Federal Law how does that apply?

    What are my options to be able to take possession of the home I just bought?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Have you been able to verify that the occupants are not the former owners or tenants that took possession before you foreclosed? If they're squatters, you can ask them to leave and you can report them to the police as trespassers.

    If they're tenants they may have the right to continue to stay for 90 days or more, but they must pay rent or you can evict them. (But you have to let them know that you're the owner and should be getting their rent checks).
