Re: Do I have to pay rent? Landlord in Foreclosure by Blaize on January 22, 2012 @11:26

im not a user, or a loser thanks for judging someone you have never met... times in my town are bad no work anywhere, i have no month to month obligation with my land lord in my lease it states he would raise my rent and i have to re sign a month to month lease... i have never signed anything, my friend is in real estate and he told me i shouldn't be paying him if he doesn't own the house. All i wanted to know is if im not signed into a lease and my landlord doesn't own the house why would he try and evict me from a house he doesn't or never would own. How would he even afford that, hes already spent my deposit money also. He wants me to pay him cash im guessing because its not traceable...

I think people should pay their bills. You and your landlord. Defaulting on a rental property has greater consequences than a home you live in. Either way your landlord owns the home until which point the bank takes possesion of it. The deed may not be free and clear but the landlord does own the home, currently. Best route for you is to go find another place to live, now. Or keep paying the rent, discounted, until the bank tells you to move. You are looking for a free ride and that really is not okay. If your next landlord is smart they will call this landlord and find out what you did.

"Either way your landlord owns the home until the bank takes possession of it." Yes, it is kind of like the bank robber owns the money until the police take possession of it.
