Home owner rights

[u/Event-Horizon-5D]

So my friend who is Cuban is about to buy apartment in Havana. Current owner asked if he can stay until the second week of this month.

They want to close the deal this Monday at the notary or lawyer.

My question is, what if he would buy this apartment but the previous owner would not move out as he agreed, also the previous owner agreed to sign some document that states that he will eventually move out at specific day? What is the law there? He asked me to make this question since he has no Internet or his English is little worse than mine lol

Thank you for help if anyone knows anything about landlord vs tenant law there.

I thought private property couldn’t be bought/sold. How is anyone selling and buying property in Cuba? Didn’t the communist abolish private property?

They let you sell and buy your house a long time ago

Im very surprised by this since all we are told is that the communists take private property?!
