I have 7 months remaining on my home lease. The owner defaulted on the mortgage and the mortgage holder has instituted foreclosure proceedings. What are my rights as a tenant with regard to the mortgage company?
You can send a letter to the mortgage holder with a copy of the lease saying you are in occupancy and that your lease must be honored. Send the letter certified, return receipt required. This lets them know you are on top of the situation. Normally they are on notice from your occupancy and will have to honor your lease. You might also check the laws of your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions have very specific landlord tenant laws.
