To Pay or Not To Pay, Rent?

I rent a condo and my landlord is going into foreclosure. Do I have to pay rent?

 

I will say this, you cannot live rent free.  I know you can evict a tenant if he/she stops paying rent, no matter if the property is under foreclosure.  The landlord still has the right to collect rent and is owner of the property until it is sold.  Depending when the lease was signed and when the property went into foreclosure, the lease could be null and void.  Which gives you the right to move out without penalty or violating the terms of the lease not the right to live rent free.  Two wrongs don't make a right

 

This is not legal advice.  We do not give legal advice.  We suggest that you seek legal advice from an attorney or any other professional qualified to give it.
