New foreclosure scam?

[HLS]

IF YOU HAVE A LEASE this MAY apply to you…

After signing a lease, the landlord is legally bound to deliver the rental for the entire lease term. In legalese, this duty is known as the “covenant of quiet enjoyment.” A landlord who defaults on a mortgage, which sets in motion the loss of the lease, violates this covenant, and the tenant can sue for the damages it causes…

The tenant can sue for moving and apartment-searching costs, application fees, and the difference, if any, between the new rent for a comparable rental and the rent under the old lease.

Here’s an update for you which may or MAY NOT apply to your situation:

I talked to someone today who is involved in such transactions…

It’s a competitive market for realty agents to get exclusive REO listings on foreclosed properties from a lender. It’s not always a bank, it may be servicer that has the rights and ownership after the trustee sale.

Agents may bid to get the listings, and part of their agreement might be to take a reduced commission AND the responsibility of getting the tenant/owner out of the property and having it in decent condition.

The servicer might say: Get possession of the house (vacant) within 10 days, we are willing to pay $2500 for a clean property, or $1500 for 11-20 days, or whatever..

If the agent is happy with the selling commission that they agreed to, they might offer the occupant the full $2500/$1500..

If they aren’t getting a big commission they may try to pocket the vacancy fee to compensate…
Not even sure exactly what is “legal”…

He says that he just offers the occupant full whack from day one, and just explains that it’s in their best interest to vacate without vandalism and they get all the money that is being offered.

He helped carry the last guys aquarium out of the house telling him that it was the best decision for all parties.

If the servicer has in fact assigned the property to a selling agent, they may not want to talk to you, they are busy foreclosing on your neighbor next.

Something similar may be going on with you… just tell them that you have nowhere to go and that you cannot afford to move. Negotiate…

Don’t let them see the expensive stuff in the house, I don’t think that they have any right to enter premises.

If you are worried, consult an attorney.

I would take the landlord to small claims court, it’s an interesting experience if you have the time.
You might even end up on TV.

Posession is nine tenths 😉
