What are my tenant legal rights ?

I have a 12 month lease agreement. The Landlord is now short selling the home. Is this a breach of our lease agreement? If so can I just live out the last month ? What can I do to protect myself? What are my tenant legal rights ?

Tenant Foreclosure

PTMidland — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 03:24:26 +0000

We found a foreclosure notice on the front door of the house we are renting. We just entered the two-year lease on October 1, 2008. We suspect that the landlords were already in default when they entered the contract. The notice indicates that the property will be sold on January 6. What right do we have if any? we have copies of the leae, and receipts for our rental payments. If someone buys the property, do they have to honor our lease? Can we be evicted? Is there any minimum amount of time we would be given to move? Can we get our deposit back, if not from the landlords, from the entity that purchases the property?

LANDLORD IN DEFAULT

Denise Nicholl — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:53:26 +0000

I am helping a couple get a VA mortgage loan because they got a NOTICE on their door several weeks ago that indicated the house they are renting is going into default and they have 30 days to evacuate. They have rented there for 3 .5 years, always paid on time.

They want to use their deposit to go towards the February rent BECAUSE they do not believe the landlord will give them their deposit back IF they make the February rent. They just got off the phone with the landlord and he said he will not allow the deposit to be substituted for the February rent. He said if they do not pay him the February rent,he is going to file a 10 day notice of default. Their loan was approved and it will close on 3/14/09.

What should my clients do. They have great credit and they don’t want to do something wrong, but they do not trust this landlord OR believe he will give them back their deposit.

What should they do

Tenants rights foreclosure

Kyle — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:18:15 +0000

So my landlord was forclosed on and the property went to the bank. I talked with the bank and they refused to give me any information. So I decided I would wait for an offical notice to vacate. Yesterday, I got a notice that the property was going up for sale at an auction in 10 days. I am so confused, do I have to vacate before the auction date, do I wait hear from the new owners, or do I have a certain amount, by law, to vacate. I have not received any notice addressed to this issue. All I have seen is a notice saying the property was going into forclosure and a notice about the auction date. I just don’t want to come home to my belongings on the front lawn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
