Summary
If you stay past the agreed move-out date, the new owners must initiate an eviction process. They must provide either a 30 or 60-day notice depending on how long youve lived in the property. This notice period begins once you receive the eviction notice. Consult a legal professional for tailored advice.Full Conversation

so if I was to stay past the March * date, they would have to start the eviction process. Which could be reasonably * to 60 days before I would be asked to leave.
Yes, Robert. If you stay past the agreed date, the new owners will need to initiate an eviction process. They must provide either a * or 60 day notice depending on how long you've lived in the property. This notice period begins once you receive the eviction notice.
