What happens if the seller will not leave?

A seller who will not leave after a rent-back period expires becomes a holdover occupant, and the buyer's remedy depends entirely on what the rent-back agreement specified for that exact situation, including any daily penalty or eviction process outlined in writing. Without clear written terms, resolving this can require a formal eviction, which takes time. Brian Beatty makes sure rent-back agreements spell out these consequences clearly before closing, not after.
