Termination and Relisting A Property After A Buyer’s Breach

Holdover Occupants in Temporary Occupancy Agreements

The GAR Temporary Occupancy Agreement (TO) offers protections for the buyer against a seller holding over past the agreed occupancy period.
 
Temporary Occupancy Agreements are generally limited to 60 days.
The reason behind this provision is that most standard deeds to secure debt and standard FNMA and FHLMC requirements provide that the buyer must occupy the property as their principal residence on or before 60 days from the date of closing.  However, if the buyer pays cash for the property, the 60 day limit is not relevant.  The buyer should consider, in the case of a cash sale, whether a lease would be more appropriate than a Temporary Occupancy Agreement.
