California renter's rights if house is in foreclosure?
If I am renting a house in California (I'm not sure if the laws are different in other states) and the house is in foreclosure and the owner has not paid the mortgage for the last 6 months. What obligation do I have to pay the rent? According to the California Department of Fair employment and housing I need to continue to pay the owner but everything I see in the media and the small amount of information I have read online says I'm not obligated to pay. What does the law say?
You cannot live anywhere for free. You must still pay the rent to the current owner. Watch out for scams from people who say they are the new owners and you have to pay rent to them. Make sure they can PROVE they are the new owners. Some states are enacting renter's rights relating to situations that you are in. Sometimes, when the foreclosure is complete, the renter is evicted with little or no notice. Check with CA laws on this subject. Just make sure you receive receipts for all of your rent payments.
I would start looking for a place NOW in case you don't get much time later to find a new place to live especially if you are near the end of your current lease. You may even be allowed to break the lease without penalty. I don't expect your landlord has your security deposits anyway - that's probably gone.
