How long do I have in my house after a sheriff sale?
I live in Mahoning County, OH. My house went into foreclosure was sold at the
sheriff sale yesterday. The court docked says that the deposit was paid by ‘PLT’,
would this be an abbreviation for ‘Plaintiff’, aka the bank? Also, how long do I
have left in my house? I cannot find a place to move to until at least the
beginning of February. Am I going to be kicked out before then? I can’t find any
specific information for my county.

"PLT" would be plaintiff typically, so you are right: the bank.
You have until they file a legal action to remove you, since you have no legal right to remain there; such an action typically takes only a few weeks in your state, though the unknowable is how long it will take them to file it--nothing happens automatically, so you are ok until they act
You could contact them and see if they will agree to give you a certain amount of time (e.g. 60 days), so you have a firm deadline; they will often do this.
