Re: real estate

You might be in such a position. If you don't reach an agreement with the bank, the bank can start legal proceedings to evict you. Depending on where you live, evicting a tenant from before the foreclosure can be a difficult proposition for the bank, but not impossible. See what you can work out with the bank.

You cannot be evicted except by unlawful detainer. But, the foreclosure cancels your lease. They don't have to pay you anything.
