If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.

What can you do when landlord house is repossed what can happen to us tenants?

The repossession of a house, called a foreclosure, is a matter between the property owner (the Landlord) and his Mortgage Lender. The tenant is not involved. As long as the Landlord still has control of the property he is still the one to make the rent payments to, and can still evict you if you don't. When the Bank takes over they will give you proper instructions, according to state laws, on whether to and when to leave, or how to pay your rent.

Is tenant legally required to pay rent if the owner of the house is in default?

Generally speaking, as long as the landlord has legal control over the property, the rent is still due him and he may continue collecting it. However, most Housing Authorities prohibit landlords from becoming in default of their mortgage. Generally speaking, if the Housing Authority tells you to continue to pay your rent, you must do so or risk eviction- And possibly the loss of your voucher.


If your rent is paid up to date and you receive a eviction notice do you still pay rent to the landlord or do you hold it?

As long as you're in the apartment your rent is still due. If the landlord is evicting you for any other reason except non-payment of rent you still must pay while the case is still pending. If it's for non-payment your court's clerk's office should tell you if you should pay the landlord or the Clerk's Registry.


Do you have to pay rent to a landlord who's property is in default?

Yes, you have to pay rent to a landlord whose property is in default. As long as the landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if it's not paid. A foreclosure of a home is a matter between the owner of the home and his lender, not the tenant.
