Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

In order to terminate his tenancy along with the foreclosure, they have to serve him as a party to the action. They are not trying to make him liable, just trying to terminate his interest in the property. Once the foreclosure is completed, they will probably move to kick him out if he has not moved. But even that takes some additional time after the foreclosure.

Your son needs to find out where his security deposit is, meaning the name of the bank and the account number where his landlord has deposited this. When landlords don't pay their mortgages, it usually means that they have no money. It may also mean that the landlord has failed to maintain your son's deposit in accordance with state laws, and has spent it instead.
