    Won’t work if I’m reading the legal code correctly.

    A “bargain basement rent” would likely fall afoul of the “bona fide lease” definition at the bottom of that section of code. If it’s substantially less than fair market value, it won’t fly legally.

    And, even if it did fly, section 2(A) in the legalese above gives the new owner the right to terminate the lease subject to giving the tenants a 90 day notice IF they are planning on occupying the property as a primary residence. So this really would only be a “poison pill” to an investor who was planning on renting the property out.

    well, what about just a good deal. the bargain basement end of fmv.

    what about if it’s just the bank taking it back; would they be stuck wiht the lease?

    Oh Gawd!

    We’ve had people on here for months complaining that having the government force banks to restructure a loan makes contracts meaningless.

    Now, we have a law that forces banks to HONOR contracts and people are complaining about that!

    I think I need a drink…

    Yes if close enough to FMV (with appropriate rent increases if a long term lease to show it is meant to be a FMV lease), but they can also show and sell the home while you are leasing and then when sold you get 90 days to leave. So it isn’t like the tenant can just hold on forever. Also all this has to be done before the NOD is filed and be an arms length transaction. Lots of hoops to jump through for little reward.
