      This happens a lot. It's the landlords fault. They know about the forclosure for months but don't want to let the tenant know for fear the tenant will move.
      The landloard should be thrown in jail for knowingly doing this to a tenant.

        I agree about the landlord going to jail! I've heard many banks are now starting to work with tenants that have been going through this, it would be in their best interests anyhow. Can you just imagine the sheriff coming to put your belongings out on the street and you have absolutely no knowledge this was going to happen? yeah..string up the landlords who do this.

          This came up months ago and there was supposed to be a provision to help people before the foreclosure process took place,somehow these people got screwed by both the bank and the landlord!

            What a horrible story. There needs to be legal provisions for tenants in this situation; at the very least a law that would allow the lease to run out.
