Obviously, the first questions have to do with if they have or haven't been making the payments! But, in general, their rights under a Land Sales Contract amounts to not much different than a lease. Presuming they haven't paid rent, you should start eviction procedures. Some places, esepcially with a tennant under bankruptcy protection, that can take some time to accomplish.

I cosigned a mortgage for another person but I am not on the deed. What are my rights?

Actually, you have no rights. All you have is an obligation to pay the mortgage if the primary borrower doesn't pay. If you co-signed a mortgage for property that is owned by another person you have offered to pay the mortgage even though you have no rights or interest in the property. If the borrower defaults the bank will go after you for payments just as you promised when you signed the mortgage. If the mortgage is foreclosed it will be reported on your credit record.
