    If The Landlord Lose The House To Foreclosure, Do You Owe Rent?

    I'm living in a house then the landlord lose the house to forclose, they then auctioned the house off. Do I still have to pay rent? Even when she told you not to and hasn't been around for the last 4 months?

    I think that if you lived there, you owe the rent for the time you were there. The foreclosure has nothing to do with the rent you owe up until the foreclosure.

      If you lived there you will very likely lose in any court plus the court costs, lawyer costs, etc. The landlord probably lost the house through foreclosure because he didn't pay what he owed. You will be required to pay what you owe.

      He would have to take you to court first and the judge will make the decision.

      You are required to pay rent as long as you live there. As previously stated the fact that the home is in foreclosure has nothing to do with you. You have to treat it as you would any other situation in which you were given notice to move. Failure to pay rent on time as agreed would result in late fees, interest, legal fees, as well as damage to your credit, and a possible eviction on your record.
