Sheriff Sale Question

There is a home going up to sheriff sale on march 8th. It was supposed to go yesterday but didn’t, which is normal. I got two title searches on the home from two different companies. One stated that there was some small water and sewer lien and thats all. The second company told me they had trouble finding info on the home, and think the property may be a rental property.

What recourse do I have if I buy the home at the sheriff sale and it is not owner occupied by rather but a renter? Is there any legal Ramifications, also is the renter allowed to stay there longer. If anyone has dealt with a similar situation let me know what happens.

    Check a copy of the final judgment. In Florida it is standard to include a Writ of Possession clause in the Final Judgment.

    Which means at your request, the Sheriff will serve eviction papers on the occupant, who has 24 hours to vacate the premises, no matter who or under what circumstance they occupy the property.
