Q: My landlord has not been paying his mortgage but I have been payinh rent. What can I do now. The bank wants me out now.
Never received any court papers or eviction notice. Been tenant for 3 years. Original landlords had passed and home went to their son. He said we would just keep it month to month per the lease.
A:
You need to figure out what is happening with this property through your landlord as soon as possible. While the bank is not your landlord, if there is a mortgage on the property and it is not being paid, the bank can foreclose on the property. As part of that foreclosure process, the bank will ask for an eviction of all current tenants and anyone else that lives at the property.
