Q: My mom used to own the home we currently reside in but it went into foreclosure and was recently bought but we never
Received documentation or a phone call. They want to charge us rent and security though the house isn't in good condition. They also want us to remove our things from the basement and lock it. Can they do that? They don't live here and we explained we're currently looking to find us a new place to move into but they won't give us time.
A: If your question is in NJ, YES they can do that. No one is going to make a phone call, and quite frankly it is hard to believe that you did not receive any legal pleadings. You are lucky the purchasers are willing to rent to you at all. However, you will still need to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy ASAP to remove any personal liability for any deficiency judgment. Good luck.
