UPDATE ON RENTER IN NEED OF LEGAL ADVICE?

In late March to early April of 2008 my family signed a 12 month lease at a house in Tucson, AZ. Not soon after we found out that the previous owners had not been paying there mortgage and that the home was being repo'd. On 9-29-08 the house was sold at auction and today we received a note on the door saying that we are going to be evicted .


Now, my question is, can this be legal? We still have at least 6 more months on our lease. I would also be glad to hear some suggestion on what actions I should take.





NOTE: another thing that might be helpful to you is that we are not renting from the previous owner we are renting from a property management company.UPDATE ON RENTER IN NEED OF LEGAL ADVICE?
Sorry to hear about this. My friend went through the same thing last year. Unfortunately once the foreclosure goes through and the courts sell the property at auction then your lease is terminated on the date of sale. My friend tried to fight this for 6 months and still ended up getting evicted. It is best to just move on. If they have already delivered an eviction notice then you should take this time to find something else. You have no choice in this matter and fighting it will only cause you more headaches. You may have a case against your landlord for misleading you and not making you aware of the situation, since it sounds like he has kept you in the dark until you have no options. Good luck.

The good news is that you don't have to pay the last 6 months of your lease.





The bad news is that you have to find a new place to live 6 months earlier than you wanted.





Yes its legal. You can ask the company that you signed the lease with to put you up some where temporarily or give you a comparable house to finish out your lease in. I would try for the last one, you signed a lease with xyz company for 12 months for a 2 bedroom/2 bath house in abc city, ask them to find you another 2 bedroom/2 bath house in abc city for the remaining 6 month lease.
Yes, it's legal. If the mortgage wasn't paid, the bank has the right to take over. Your lease is not their problem.





You could technically sue either the management company or the owner for not informing you of this. But I think it would be too much hassle. Just get out of there.
