I'm renting a house in virginia that i just found out is being foreclosed upon. The landlord won't answer his phone or emails inquiring about the foreclosure. There is an auction for the house on nov. 8. and the winner has to close on the house in 15 days.

I want to know what my rights are?

Is my lease still valid with the change in ownership of the house?

Can the new owner evict us and how fast?

I'm also about to pay rent.
Who do i pay it to and how much since the owner will change?

What happens to the security deposit I paid to the old owner?

any help is appreciated......

here's a link that explains things. It's essentially what Cville says above.

When I'm wrong, I admit it, and this time it appears I'm wrong. I'm very surprised that tenants are not protected more than this.

So it comes down to what I said previously. You need to start looking for a new place.
