You might be able to buy the house through a few creative strategies that are beyond the typical agents here's thinking. An Involuntary sale does not transfer existing lease agreements to the new owner. Once the trustrees sale occurs an investor will likely own the place or it will go back to the bank. An investor may re-negotiate a lease with you or may opt to vacate and renovate the house. It is up to the new owner what happens so staying timely with your rent will help your chances. You might want to prepare for worst case and have a place located to move to. It isnt to difficult to locate the date of the trustees sale and that should be your deadline for having found another rental should things end up worst case. I too am in Oregon and have bought homes for many years from pre-foreclosure and at the trustees sales. My preferance has always been to buy a home with a good renter and lease option it to them post sale. With some luck this might happen for you as well. The bank might work with you as a buyer but cannot sell the property without first washing your landlords name off of title. The trustees sale performs that task for them. The term "foreclosed" essentially means property reverted to foreclosing lien holder. Foreclosure is the process under which that lien holder legally performs such an act.

I have to agree with those above me.....Contact the bank and ask what is owed on the mortgage.....Provide past rental payments and show you have kept up the property, they will see you are a good tenant and have an interest in the property.....You may get a fantastic deal if little is owed.....If you can't buy the property, then you will have about 45 days to move out, after the foreclosure has taken place.....The bank or new owners, must give you 30 days to move out, eviction notice.....Unfortunately, you don't have rights under the law as a tenant....

YOU KEEP PAYING AND THEN MUST MOVE OUT WHEN ASKED.
I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER HOME.......

Hello from Beaverton...

As a renter you really don't have any rights...
except the right to be given a 30-day notice to vacate.

Yes, it's your obligation to continue paying rent regardless of what's happening with the landlord, otherwise you could get sued.

You might want to read through this...

Good luck!

The house still belongs to your landlord until the foreclosure is complete. You still have to pay your rent to him until that time. He may decide to save it at the last minute. Once the foreclosure is complete, the new owner (bank or buyer) will let you know if you can continue living there or give you thirty days notice to vacate.

Well you have apparently been informed of the situation.. though you have been a model tenant it appears, that does not mean the owners were able to meet thier financial obligations. When the house forecloses, or shortly before hand.. you will probably be given a notice to vacate.. in the mean time I suggest you start looking for other housing.. Try contacting the Fair Housing depart in your area and see what your tenants rights are..
You';ll get much better informatin from them then from anyone here.

If the property is foreclosed, the law will usually give a redemption period, though that is unlikely, to the owner.

Only after that redemption period, can the mortgagor evict the owner/tenant. You will then be given a notice to vacate the premises, if the mortgagor wishes you to leave.

This can be an excellent time to step in and ask the mortgagor if they wish to sell the property. They are likely to deal with you because your already reside there and they usually don't want to care owned real estate on the books too long.

I would ask the present landlord who the mortgagor is and contact them ahead of time. It is also possible that the mortgagor leans on the owner to simply sign the property over to them, though some state prohibit this. Usually that is done by the owner so as to preserve their credit rating. But that is an excellent chance to negotiate with the mortgagor and get favorable terms.

Good Luck

If you have a lease, then the lease stands. That simple. You MUST keep paying your landlord rent until you get a notice otherwise. If your lease allows the new owner to give you notice to move, then the bank will probably give you the notice required, and you will have to find a new place to live.

well number one it is not your house in the first place you have no right as a tenant you only rent there not own it your land lord took avantage of you in there is nothing you can do about it get out in go live some were else before you live on the street in what ever you do dont try to take this guy to court you will lose big time

frankly...start packing up, and look for a new place. A lawyer can advise you of the possibility of you suing the ex-landlord for emotional damages. But the fact that you've paid all-rent on-time means that if you sue the landlord, you'd probably win the case.
If there is a foreclosure date set, and it's not the end of the month (assuming you pay rent at the beginning of the month), you should be able to sue your landlord also for a partial refund of the rent for the portion of the month where you could not legally live in the house.

The fact is your lease is always with your lanflord. And the fact that the landlord is changing implies either a new lease needs to be negotiated with the new owners (be it the bank or someone else) or that the lease is now defunct.

You really don't have any here, I would suggest start looking for a new residency immediately.
It is unfortunate that your landlord took advantage of you as a tenant.
You can try to purchase it if you are in the financial means to do so.
Good luck Hon.

Talk with the bank or financial institution that is foreclosing. Typically, banks do not want to go to the trouble of paying commissions to real estate agents to sell foreclosed property. They may want to make a deal with you. Are you able to purchase the property? Do you have good credit and funds for closing costs? Then, maybe you should think about buying instead of renting.

PLease check the State of Oregon's recent passage of several new Landlord Tenant laws, as well as the new FEDERAL LAW entitled "Helping Families Save their Homes Act", signed into LAW, May 20, 2009, by President Obama! The Federal Law does not just give help to families who are purchasing their homes, but also contains language regarding those whom are renting, and losing their home due to a Landlord/owner, whom does not give the tenant notice that he is in foreclosure. Oregon SB1013, adds to the Federal Law, and also gives additional rights to tenants, which are much different than the answers provided by you Rapscallion Realtors, and Landlords. When will you all learn to stop being so greedy, and care for others in the world than yourself? Perhaps it will take this country speeding into another Civil War, and the eventual failure of our Country as we know it. Here is a tip for 'ya which may help some of you, let go of the materialistic greed which has permeated your industry: When a country is taken over by it's over taxed, sucked dry by greedy realtors and land developers like yourselves, whom have been forced into action finally getting a good look at those of their own countrymen whom have been sucking them dry for years, while they all worked harder for less money, and less of a home for their dollar,..... Do you think there will be anyone left whom calls themselves, either a Stock Broker, Mortgage Lender, Realtor, Lawyer, or Politician? I don't know, but I think I hear, No....I see...yep, Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord, He is trampling out the vintage where the Grapes of Wrath are stored, He has loosed the might power of His terrible swift Sword......His troops are marching In....Lookout those of you who think yer saved!F Godly folk, do not treat their brothers and sisters like the way you have all been treating the rest of the world. But, I am not the judge, Just a lonly ol man telling you what I see not to far off in the distance,. . . and I seen it before, and read it before, but I never thought I would see it on American Soil.....God Bless you all, you are going to need it lest you change the way you do business..
