Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 requires that the person who acquired the property at foreclosure must give a "bona-fide" tenant 90 days notice to quit, or leave the property. The reason they are asking for proof that you are a tenant is that the alternative - the notice they are required to give the homeowner - is only five days. If you do not provide them with proof that you are a tenant (rent checks, lease agreement, etc...), then they will proceed to evict you after a five day notice is posted. Give them proof that you have been paying rent for the past several months, a lease if you have one.
