Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Why would he need possession of the home. He has the title to the property. Read your lease to see if there is a landlord out. Otherwise, contact the bank for your own piece of mind and see if they in fact stated he had to have actual physical possession. Secondly, why did you receive foreclosure papers - usually the tenant continues paying rent until the foreclosure is completed and then you pay the rent to the lender until the lease expires at which time it is up to the lender to allow you to continue to rent or vacate the premises.

There was a new law that passed recently that protects renters in your situation. He cannot force you out of the leased property unless you have breached the lease. Keep making your payments under protest. Even if it goes into foreclosure, the bank cannot force you out of a lease until the end of the lease. It is a bit more complicated than that, but based on your general question, you have a right to stay in the property.

When the home is foreclosed, the landlord is no longer the owner. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to move out. I would recommend that you consult with an attorney. Regards,
