Change of ownership/new landlord

Carla

well the property that we are renting was recently sold from a foreclosure without our knowledge. the previous owner collected rent for november and now the new owner is threatening to evict us if we don't pay rent for nov again to them. He doesn't even have the title yet and is wanting to kick us all out and i know i must have some rights as a tenant.

RG09481107 Alameda County Superior Court Judge August 25, 2010, takes matter off calendar; Property Asset Management, Inc vs Brown. Attorney David Endres got the property from Pite and Duncan Trust Account where the Original Trustor from 2001 Lisa Swain-Morris employed at Charles Swabb had purchased the building in HUD Loan; it was found later that lead based paint current today was on the building and in the yard too. There was a lease signed with Brian Coleman and children and Ami Brown.

My landlord is selling the building to someone who will make it a half way house. How do we prevent this? I do not want to move and I do not want to live in a half way house. Who has to approve this change? Thank you

Our landlord would come every month for rent. In october he didn't come. His wife then came around 28th of Oct. stating we need 2 pay or deal with bank i then told her i would pay her on Nov.3rd both months and she then refused saxing it was 2 late. we then found a notice on the door that ho me was on foreclosure and was being auctioned on Jan.9 Two wks after this date the landlords wife shows up demanding that we have to vacate by the 28th because the home didnt end up getting foreclosed. Now she is stating she going to serve me with a 3-day eviction.

Our landlord has just informed us that he is putting our rental house up for sale! A realtor showed up at our door and told us she was the new listing agent and wanted us to have a key made so that she can begin showing the house. We still have 6 months on our lease! What rights do we have? What notice was the landlord required to give us? Can we break our lease without any legal issues! Help!

I moved to Santa Monica in 1974 and have been renting my home ever since. In those 36 years I have lived in 16 different rentals: 10 apartments & 6 houses from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara to Daly City and finally Pacifica, CA.

I am choosing to write about the diverse challenges that central valley residents tend to encounter. I have rented in California for over 25 years. In that time, I have always encountered a loss of security deposits for many reasons, most fabricated lies by the owner/landlord. I have tried to contest these thieves repeatedly with no success or laws to protect me. They steal the money, simply stated.
