Help- the cool rental house we just moved into in Sept. is being forclosed on

[quote=CA renter]Fredo,

Do you like the house a lot? Would you be interested in buying it at the Trustee Sale? Maybe you could contact the lender directly and let them know you’re interested.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Hope that whatever you choose to do works out well for you.

You might also consider talking to these people:

CAR:
To do this you have to be able to pay cash.
With no escrow period.
And the possibility of inheriting the owner’s tax bills.

[quote=CA renter]Then no lease = no obligation to pay rent????

I would withhold rent until I got a copy of the lease. You are entitled to a copy of the lease, and should demand it.

Do not take this as any kind of legal advice. Definitely talk to the attorneys mentioned above (IMHO).[/quote]

Were it me, I would not spend the money on the atty.
I would invest in one or more of NOLO press’s books on tenants rights and landord responsibility (make sure it is specific to CA).

Also, I would ask for a copy of the lease in writing. And be cool about it. Don’t turn it into an adversarial situation (at least not openly) until you have something clarifying your respective situations in writing. If the dude has misplaced the agreement then offer to write up a new offer.
If you want to use a professional form let me know.

Also, I am not a lawyer.
I have not been to law school.
I do, however, have a license which allows me to negotiate leases and purchases of real property.
And I do a lot of that.

Feel free ask questions.

Guido contacted a realtor friend of his. He told us that since the house is still legally owned by our landlord , we need to talk to him (not the bank) about doing a short sale before it goes to auction. The owner would then have to talk the bank and see if the bank would go along with the idea. Does this sound right to you?
