After my house closes, how many days legally do I get to stay before I am forced to move out?
Answer:
Depends on the conditions as outlined in the sales contract. In some cases a rental agreement can be set up, if the new owners don't need to move in right away (or bought it for renting it out)
i believe you need to be out the day of the closing unless it is written into the closing documents as a later date. you may also be able to work with the buyers on a later date.
Simply write into the contract beforehand how long you want to stay. If you didn't do that, it should be in the fine print.
It is up to the buyer. As soon as the buyer closes it is leagaly their house. You can usually negotiate this. 2-4 weeks is not uncommon.
you can ad a condishen to the closing if you are the one selling to stay upto 30 days if you are being forclosed on i dont know
When you close the house is no longer yours, if you stay longer you'll need an agreement and should expect to pay rent for those days. At least that's hows I remember it (a few years ago for me)
Once you sign the papers - the house is sold. I don't think you can stay legally. At least not in my state (New York). However, everything in life is negotiable. If you need to stay longer, you may be able to work out a rent arrangement with the new owners, if they are agreeable to that.
Unless you have a use and occupancy agreement, property should be delivered vacant at the closing.
It depends on what is written into the purchase agreement. Most times, it's 24 hours after closing. But different areas could do things differently. What does your contract say? If you can't find it, ask your realtor.
Unless there is a provision in the contract, once you close, the new owners can move in (and you out). However, most people realize nobody can move in a day. Talk to your buyers and see if you can stay a few days.
Look at the contract. Typically possession is delivered at closing if not specified in the contract.
Depends upon what was negotiated in the purchase contract. If you didn't specifically negotiate an extension, default in most places is that you have to be out that day.
Taking care of all the not so little details like this is what an agent is for. It would not hurt to see if your buyer will give you a rental for a few days, but it's at their discretion. If they want to charge you $2000 per day, they probably can.
Your contract addresses when you have to give possession.
You need to read your purchase and sale. You are required to leave on day of closing and turn your keys in.
UNLESS you negotiated for 3 days in the p&S, you have to move out that day.
i NEVER reccomend that a buyer allow a seller t stay.becuase now you own a home and someone else is living in it, and if they damage the home you're basically screwed, becuase you have no leverage.
when the house closes you no longer own it , if you dont own it why would you think you could stay ,
Unless you have something in the contract you have to move out
immediatly. If you stay, you can legally be charged rent by the new owner for each day you stay.
I don't know who told you three days--your butt needs to be out, technically, once the buyer signs the final closing documents. Legally the house is now theirs, and with no prior rental agreement you would be trespassing, technically.
However, you can do a sale and leaseback, but this needs to be discussed well in advance of the closing with the buyers so that they don't go and schedule a moving truck to show up on the day of the closing.
