a company recently bought my house before it was foreclosed and auction. They gave me a move out date of March *, *. I did sign a document to agree to it. I’m hoping to have myself ready to go at that time. But, I’m having some issues with my health and afraid it may be impossible. What action can they take to get me to leave the property?
