The weird part about this story is that it actually happened/started before COVID (Jan 2020). It was always house plan to not vacate after sale, the COVID loophole just offered him greater protection. Makes him a special kind of assh*le and I hope the buyers are able to find a good lawyer than can get them $$$$$$$ damages after eviction.
