Update: Eviction Process is Now Faster than Ever!
In my previous article titled "Eviction: The Aftermath of the Arizona Foreclosure Sale", I wrote about the Eviction Process after a foreclosure sale. It used to be about 3 weeks for the banks to receive an eviction order from the court, and the Sheriff to show up and remove you from the property. My sources are now telling me that it’s become a much faster process than ever before. Apparently, the Courts have been soo overwhelmed by all the foreclosures here in Arizona, that they have reconfigured the entire process. It now takes them merely a FEW DAYS to get the order processed, and have the Sheriff at your door step.
Now, I am hearing that the Sheriff has lightened up somewhat as well. They sometimes give the former owner a few days to remove their belongings and move out of the property. Personally, I would NEVER bank on that, and would always advise anyone in the situation to be out long before he shows up. He certainly doesn’t have to give you any time at all, so I wouldn’t risk my situation based on his mood that day.

I purchased a property at the trustee sale and the property has belonging in it but they have no electricity and do not live there anymore. Do i still need to proceed with eviction process?

I recently recieved a letter of auction on my door, I am a tenant in the house, what are my rights. We have only lived here a short time and are sure that the entire time we have been here has been in the foreclosure process. Is there anything that we can do at this point and if so what?
