<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My client (a private investor) purchased property at the mortgage foreclosure sale. There are occupants in the property other than the owner. My client, who purchased the property
at the mortgage foreclosure sale, told me they squatters. Sao, I filed an unlawful detainer action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Foreclosure Act..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I don’t know what they are, other than their assertion. So, I either go ahead and give them the 90 day notice that is required by the F.S., or I proceed with the unlawful detainer.
If I don’t give them the 90 day notice now and they are tenants, then I’ve lost valuable time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
