I live in NJ. I moved in with my ill father for 4 years. He died in 2013. Has a reverse mortgage on the home and it went into foreclosure. House wasn't sold at auction went back to lender. Three months later it was sold to an Investor. I continued living in home and was not notified of sale. Came home one day about a month ago. Door was padlocked. I went into the home thru an unlocked patio door. No belongings were touched except my dog was missing. Called the mortgage lender and told them my dog was stolen by the lock people. Four days later dog appeared in living room.
First, I was told because I resided in the home with father that no matter what the new owner must get a court order to force me to leave the premesis. No one can just tell you to take your things and get out. For some reason they don't want to seem to get a court order to remove me. They just show up every week when I am out and change more locks. There is no note posted on the door not to enter the property.
1. Do they have to legally evict me.
2. Can I stay in the home and tell them to get a sheriff order to remove me.
3. They have not touched any belongings: but it seems they are simply trying to lock me out for good. Again, even though the investor owns the home now: there is a process they must go thru to properly remove me" why haven't they done it? I was also told had I been home when the locksmith came that they wouldn't have changed the locks? I am confused/ Any help appreciated?
