    I'm a renter in a recently foreclosed house in Virginia.
    I have posted before regarding this situation but that was before I knew what I know now. The house I am renting has been foreclosed upon. We just received this information Monday (although we knew that it had gone to foreclosure back in November-but was then informed the foreclosure had been postponed until 12/15 and the owner was trying to get the house back). She told us Monday the bank had it. Today she said it had been auctioned off and we should be contacted by the new owner.

    I believe this person knew when we rented the house in July that there was a problem, although I am told on this forum that what she knew was none of my business.

    Anyway, because we weren't told until Monday, the house was auctioned off and I had someone interested in buying the house and renting it to us. I don't think this is fair, but it is what it is I suppose. When I had asked the LL a few weeks ago who I could contact at US Bank, she wouldn't give the name of the person she was in contact with.

    So I paid her my rent on 11/28 for December. She cashed the check and I'm hoping she will transfer that to the new owner as well as my security deposit.

    How can I find out who the new owner is? I want to find out what their plans are with the house... whether or not they plan to use it as investment and keep renting it or if they want to move in (then I have by law 90 day notice).

    I know I seem antsy but I'm not someone who likes unsolved things -- I want to know so I know how to plan. I want to know who the owner is, what there purpose of the house is, and whether we are going to have to move. For anyone who says, sit and wait, remember you are in a warm home and not facing eviction.

    Why do I feel like such a victim here?
