Re: auction
As long as it takes to commence and successfully complete an eviction action, unless some sort of settlement or agreement is reached beforehand. Note that only a Court can evict a tenant, not a landlord and not the bank.
If you are facing this situation as either a tenant or a landlord, you are well-advised to hire an attorney.
Re: auction
A sale or auction does not automatically evict residential tenants. They can only be evicted by a court eviction action which can take several months or more in certain circumstances.
Consider retaining an attorney if you are a tenant or purchasing landlord. Good Luck!
