Sheriff Sale

[spazzman]

My question is the following:
My Chapter 7 has already been disscharged. I'm waiting on the sheriff to announce the sale of my home. What typically is the amount of time for you to be given notice to vacate your property after it has already gone to the sheriff. The reason I ask is because I have been looking for a place to move and have been unsuccessful. Also, I have been following the sales on the website, and as of yet my property hasn't been listed. I also haven't received any notice by mail either.

I live in Ohio

Our house went to Sheriff's Sale on the 20th of September. We never have gotten a notice to vacate the premises, BUT it's vacant anyway, so I don't know if we ever will/would.

Ohio foreclosure law states that evictions can be accomplished through a writ of possession through the Sheriff, in the event the occupants (that's you) were named as parties in the foreclosure action and served with a summons. The writ of possession is a precept directing a sheriff to put a person (in this case, the buyer at Sheriff's Sale) in peaceable possession of property recovered in ejectment or writ of entry. Anyways, possession may only be recovered through a municipal court eviction action. In ether cases, the process takes approximately 6 weeks until the move out.

I don't know how accurate the 6 week move out timeframe really is because of the large number of foreclousres in Ohio (the highest in the country), so you could be living in the house longer. It depends on how fast the writ of possession is completed.

We are in Ohio and had a friend that let his house go in foreclosure. He stopped paying over a year ago and the house still hasn't been sold. He received papers back in May. He wishes that he hadn't been in such a rush to leave because he could have been living there for free for the last 14 months.

I myself live in Ohio and with all that's happening with the foreclosures, the timelines have been cut down.......6 to 8 months in some instances. We let our home go when we filed in Oct 2005 and the Sheriff's Sale wasn't until Jan. 2007 (about 14 months as well)....so....it was that long, but this year, the process is moving along more rapidly.
