Tenants Facing Foreclosure, Mass. Legal Help. "Describes the foreclosure process, how to deal with these new owners, and how foreclosure affects your rights and responsibilities as a tenant." Provides key information, including eviction and how to get your security deposit back.
Sometimes landlords stop paying their mortgages. As a result banks and other lenders foreclose on these properties. In many cases, they become the new property owners. If you are a tenant, these new owners might try to convince you that you do not have the same rights as other tenants and that they do not have the same obligations as other landlords. But for the most part, your rights are the same as in any landlord-tenant relationship.
This chapter describes the foreclosure process, how to deal with these new owners, and how foreclosure affects your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. In addition, this chapter also contains a small section about the rights of former owners, which are different. Produced by Esme Caramello and Rafael Mares. Created April, 2008
