Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Live in NJ. Living in fathers home, he passed away. House went into foreclosure. Lender sold home to investment banker. Two weeks ago came home door locks changed. I can legally refuse to leave home without a court order? I was told the new owner can not just tell you to leave and take your stuff? They did take my dog but called them and told them I filed a theft report. Three days later the dog appeared in the iiving room.

You cannot be evicted without a court order. I recommend that you consult a lawyer in your area who handles landlord/tenant cases.
