So like the title says I purchased a property via foreclosure auction, the redemption period expired (10 days Florida) and the county transferred the title into my name.
The previous owner is still there. Doesn’t look like they are going to vacate. We will consult with a lawyer to see our options for that situation. But meanwhile, the lawn is over a foot tall
My understanding is since I legally own it I need to cut the lawn or risk fines/liens from the city not to mention general liability risk.
Can I just mow the lawn? Or hire a landscaping company to do it? Any advice is much appreciated
Purchased Real estate SFH via foreclosure auction. Title transferred to my name. I can mow the lawn right?

Mow the lawn. Do it at 8am and 930pm daily, just to get on their nerves (but maybe smooth things over with the neighbours first). It’s now your responsibility, as are the tenants. Best of luck!
If anything hire a gardener to do it. If you go at an early time or go often they could claim retaliation when you are in the process of your eviction.
Find a flat rate eviction attorney and get them out!
