Can I legally be forced to surrender my property within 3 days of my first notice?
I bought a house a little over 2 years ago and owner financed. I have applied for disability and will be going to a Dr in two weeks. The man I am owner financing from just sent me a letter of eviction even though he knows I’m almost through with the disability process. I am only a month and a half behind. He is giving me 3 days to surrender the property. Is this legal?

If you actually bought the home that you are living in and you have legal title to it, then there is no way that under the law that the seller who has a carry back loan on it can have you removed from the property. He or she must file a motion to foreclose on the loan assuming you are on title to the property. I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney about the matter you are writing about.
