What is your location, ****? The eviction process varies by state.
Florida
In Florida, the new owner must provide a written notice to vacate before starting the eviction process. They can't deny access without this.
What if they say they didn't know anyone lived there so they took over the property?
Even if they didn't know, they still need to follow the legal eviction process. Ignorance doesn't excuse them from following the law.
Are me and my son in troubles for staying since we are not the homeowners?
In Florida, you're not in trouble for staying. However, the new owner can start the eviction process. They must:
- Provide a written notice to vacate
- Follow the legal eviction process
Will I be notified of this written letter ?
Yes, you should be formally notified. The notice should be delivered to you directly or posted on the property.
What if they say it was posted on the property but I don't see it?
Did you receive any other form of communication or notice from the new owner or their representative? In Florida, the law requires proper service of eviction notice.
No I have no idea who purchased.the property but random people do stop by asking about the property. I hope they don't say they said they gave us some written notice when there wasn't any
Have you considered contacting the local county clerk's office to find out who the new owner is? They should have this information on record.
It's a third party I'm not sure they'll tell me but I guess I could ask
What is the name of the county where the property is located? This will help you find the appropriate county clerk's office to contact.
