Are you required to move if your landlord files bankruptcy?

The basic rule is as follows: if your landlord files bankruptcy that is a matter between your landlord and his creditors, not you, the tenant. You are still required to pay rent or be evicted, as long as your landlord has control over the property. This applies to whether the landlord has filed for bankruptcy or if the property is under foreclosure. In either case, if you end up staying on the property, the new landlord will provide further instructions on whether to stay or to move.

As long as your landlord has control of the property he still has the right to collect rent: whether the house is foreclosed is between your Landlord and his mortgage lender. If the property is taken over by the mortgage lender they may ask you to leave. There may be some form of protection available for you, the Tenant, before you are forced to leave. Get legal assistance as soon as you learn about the foreclosure so that you can be prepared for what's next. You may or may not be required to leave soon.

If the landlord wants to sell the rental property, the tenant has different rights depending on what state the property is in. Usually, a landlord has to give 60 days notice for an intent to sell. Then, it is up to the landlord whether or not the property can be occupied by the tenant until the sale date. If there is a lease, the landlord usually cannot sell the property until the lease is up, but all states have different rules regarding occupancy.

Can landlord sell house that is being rented?

No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.
