If a landlord asks you to sign a 6 month lease knowing all along that the house was in foreclosure?

and in three months we would have to move, ....do I have any protection or legal recourse. Obviously there is nothing to sue for or the house would not be in foreclosure.

    The landlord signed a lease with you under false pretenses. He's a slime ball. Stop paying your rent and look for somewhere else to live.

    paralegal is erroneous. Mr. Placid and others telling you that the employ transfers to the recent vendors is genuine. The old proprietor could supply the recent proprietor your protection deposit. certainly a foreclosure can wipe out the employ. you would favor to record your employ on the county clerk so it turns into public know-how and/or tell the brokers in contact so as that they ought to illustrate it. besides the undeniable fact that, this happens each and every of the time. If the recent vendors favor the residing house to stay in, they're going to favor to bribe you to depart. Your words stay an similar and they could't do some thing to kick you out until eventually you violate the employ. now and again, the owner asks you to signal a Tenant Estoppel certificate to provide to the destiny new proprietor. good success

    a lease goes both ways-- it is a contract

    you agreed to pay rent for 6 months -- he agreed to provide a habitable building for six months

    he didn't hold up his end of the bargain; therefore, a breach of contract

    if you lived there and paid rent for 3 months, you both may be better to walk away-- you don't pay rent for the last three months, he doesn't give you a place to live-- about even in my opinion.

    You will have the right to live there for the remainder of the lease. That is your one and ONLY right.
