Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.

Can a landlord who's house went into foreclosure and he fill bankrupt and he has a section 8 tenant living in the unit 8 tenant still have to pay their family tentant contribution?
It might be best to ask the Housing Authority that issued the voucher. Bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. As far as the foreclosure, it depends on what stage the foreclosure is in. Until the foreclosure sale happens, the tenant owes the rent to the landlord.
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.

I'm no lawyer but... In some locations there are laws that provide a landlord the ability to terminate a lease due to sale. It probably has to be an "arm's length" sale, e.g not to his wife or brother.

When you have a signed rental property lease and received a notice of auction for sale after leasing for two months is that fraudulent inducement from the landlord?
Some states have laws that preserve a lease (like, for a year, not month-to-onth) after a sale. There is a strong legal argument that if the buyer was aware of the lease at the time of the sale, he is bound by it. But, no, unless the lease says that he can't sell (and, I've never seen one that does), nothing prohibits the landlord from selling.
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.

If your landlord owns the rental property that you live in and and wants to sell it what are your rights?
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.
Does an apt complex's management company have to tell you if they have sold your unit as a condo?
Your question is complex.Here are a few assumptions:You chose 'Moving' as your original category, so you could be a tenant.A residential building can be a combination of apartments and condominiums (or one or the other).When you signed your lease, you should have been able to understand from it whether you were moving into an apartment or a condominium.If the apartments are sold, you have a new landlord, and your lease conditions may survive the sale, or not.If the condominium unit was sold, you have a new landlord, and your lease conditions may survive the sale, or not.If you do not have a lease, you may be at the mercy of the new owner.Whether you were notified as to the status of your living space upon its sale, or not, doesn't seem to be an issue.

How do you give 30 day notice for buy or going up for sale?
Not sure why this would be a landlord/tenant issue, since the landlord can sell to anyone he or she wants and the tenant simply continues paying rent, but to a different landlord. The only "notice" required would be when the new landlord wants the rent sent to a different place or wants to change the terms of the tenancy (usually with 30 days prior notice, unless otherwise specified in a lease).
