The owner of my house stopped paying his mortgage and the bank is foreclosing on the house. I stopped paying rent about 5 months ago. The owner of the house has just now demanded rent from us and said that we have 24 hours to pay or he will come back with a cop and evict us. From what I have read, he cannot do this. We also do not have a written lease with this man. He bought the house from a man that we did have a written lease with, but that lease ended over a year ago and we never signed a lease with the man who is now trying to evict us. What rights does he have and what rights do I have as the renter?
