This depends greatly on the individual situation. For a prior owner, the new owner will serve a Notice to Quit, which can be anywhere from 3 to 30 days. For a renter, the new owner must honor any remaining lease agreements. With that being said, if the resident does not vacate, the new owner may sue them for unlawful detainer to have them removed. There have been examples of people using petitions and self-serve legal filings and court motions to stay in a home for over a year or more. The best and usually least stressful way to vacate the home is to negotiate with the new owner for a set period of time and possibly "cash for keys" to cover moving expenses. It is often in the best interest of both the renter and new owner to come to a cash settlement agreement where the resident maintains the home without damaging it and leaves on a certain date in exchange for money to be used toward moving or new rental expenses.
