A while back we discussed a specific case in CA where people bought a $900k house, paying cash. After the papers were signed, the sellers used non-eviction laws and didn't move out. They paid no rent but had the sale price in their pockets. The buyers couldn't do anything about it. I don't know what the current status is.
