Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I'm renting a home through a property management firm and was just left a note on my door that the home will be up for auction in mid January. Apparently the owner of the home has not paid the mortgage for about a year. If the home sells at the auction or not, how long do I have before I have to leave the property if I have to leave at all? I have 9 months left on my lease with the property management firm. I am in California.

Under the new federal law passed by the Obama administration you can stay in the home until your lease is up under most circumstances. If you live in a rent controlled area you could possibly stay there even longer.

Good luck, and best wishes for a happy new year.
