Yes. Until the actual foreclosure sale happens, he owns it. I'm not sure what you really mean by 'under foreclosure', anyway. That could be any stage of the process, and you can't be sure that the sale will really happen.
No. You have the right to ask questions about this matter as every tenant who faces the uncertainty of his landlord being under foreclosure. But remember: as long as the landlord has control of the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if you don't pay it.
Yes, but the landlord can evict you for nonpayment.
yes. you arer under contractual obligation to pay regardless of what is happening with the landlord
If its your brothers house and you never had a lease then it shouldn't be either since its not your house and he has no contact with you. All your brother has to do is call the police and have you removed from his property. You have no legal rights to be there since there was never a contract and the house is not under your name. This is assuming you are not a minor.
Yes. This can be considered a violation of the terms of your lease.
I believe so, but under certain cercumstances,.. have you been upright in your current bills?
Bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. If a bank forecloses on the mortgage, US federal law requires the bank to give the tenants a 90 day notice to quit, if they want the building emptied. But, it could be that the landlord will survive the bankruptcy, and there will be no foreclosure.
He has to call a professional.
This depends on whether you violate the written agreement. The purpose of a written agreement is to spell the terms and conditions under which you may live on the property you are renting.
Absolutely. I know of no state that limits whether a tenant can be evicted in cold weather, or at any particular time of year.
Yes, the tenant must continue to pay the rent to the landlord who has control over the property. When the foreclosing entity takes control over the property, the tenant will be given instructions on to whom and where to pay the rent, or other instructions such as to vacate the premises.
Not under normal circumstances. It would be worth na consultation with a realtor.
