Can owner of house which is now in foreclosure, evict tenant when he quits paying rent?
If the landlord is in foreclosure, by the time he evicts you in court, the sale of the house would have already taken place. The landlord is in the breach of the lease (verbal or written), because he HAD to have known he was behind in payments when he leased you the propery, therefore, by not disclosing that, he has caused you a hardship. If you have NOT received a notice from he bank on a day to vacate, I would pay him the rent at the END of the month instead of the beginning, and I would just leave off any late fee he charges….b/c you won’t get your deposit back anyway, and that is to make sure you don’t lose much money when you have to move. Make sure that what you “owe” him equals the deposit…that way he can’t sue you later. I NEVER advocate people doing this, unless the landlord stops paying his bills and refuses to be honest with the tenants, and causes the property to fall into foreclosure. It costs money to move and those scumbags forget that.
