Q: My cousin os trying to evict me from a home that is in foreclosure. There is no lease for either one of us.
We both moved into a home with intentions on renting. The home ended up being put into foreclosure before any lease was signed. The bank now owns the home. He is stating he is my landlord and he is trying to evict me from a home no one legally obtains but a bank. Can he proceed and take me to court. Mind you i am in the process of looking for another place to live but unfortunately its not fast enough for him and he making everything difficult literally like everything. Telling me if i use the kitchen then im trespassing the whole 9. What are my options

A: You need to at least consult or retain the right type of attorney. You need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense attorney or a landlord tenant attorney to learn exactly what your rights are.
