Can a mortgage lender tell me I have ten days to get out of my house with nowhere to go just by mouth and not serving eviction notice?

No, a lender cannot do that. A lender must observe legal procedures and file legal written documents with the courts to be able to exercise its rights over the property.

No. The lender would need to file a forcible retainer action or eviction action in order to recover possession of the property.

Yes, they can actually tell you that. But in order for things to be legal there are specific procedures that must be followed. The lender does not get title until the 11th day after the sale, and then might have to seek a writ of possession.

Not in California. Lender must proceed with an eviction lawsuit which normally takes 30-90 days.
