That would be a matter that's between the landlord and the lender or bankruptcy trustee, not the tenant. As long as the landlord has control of the property he still has the right to collect rent and evict you if the rent isn't paid. If the property is taken over by a new entity, that entity becomes your landlord and they will give you further instructions.

Can a landlord continue to collect rent if title to the property has been transferred to a trustee?

I wouldn't think so, since the landlord transferred the land to a trustee the "landlord" couldn't have that title anymore, the trustee would so the trustee would collect the rent instead of the "old" landlord On the other hand you should ask if the "landlord" has been appointed the agent and property manager for the property owner. That appointment must be in writing and recorded in the land records. In that case they certainly may collect the rent.

Generally he can go back as far as you owe the rent. But a landlord can only evict you for not paying the rent, not for money that you owe for back rent. If your landlord accepts your money for the correct amount of rent, he cannot evict you for the back amount, but he can sue you for that.


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.

How can a landlord collect rent when a tenant files bankruptcy?

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.
