My home was sold at auction yesterday. Today I came home from work to find a note from the new owner that I must be out by Monday. I thought I would have 30 days to get my things and myself out. In in VA if that makes any difference.

If this was just the owner selling his home, then your rental agreement is binding and they have to give a notice.

I owned the property, it was sold in foreclosure Friday. I figured I'd have 30 days to move. I was in negotiations until 2 days before the sale to reclaim the house but was unable to come up with the cash to stop it. Is there any thing that can get me some more time?
