    We're buying a house in a short sale. Is it possible to evict the tenant.
    We plan on living in the house as our primary residence.

    Hello r:

    Sure you can, but depending on LOTS of things, it might take MONTHS, and cost $1,000's. Plus, he can DESTROY your brand new home in the meantime. So, if it were me, I'd INSIST the present owner do the eviction, and give me an EMPTY house on the day I closed.
