The house my son is renting was forclosed he never received an unlawful detainer he was served a notice to vacate by the sheriffs yesterday to be out by the 11th of this month he went to the court building but was told he needs to know the exact name of the forms he needs to file he has to move in a few days without ever having received an unlawful detainer or a 3 day notice he was not informed buy the property owner who is losing the property what can he do to get more time and what forms would he ask for he is in santa clarita cailfornia

What makes you think an unlawful detainer is applicable here? Unfortunately when a house is foreclosed on, it voids any lease and the tenant has to vacate. An unlawful detainer is usually used in cases where back rent is owed or the tenant violates the lease.

He might find this site:

Helpful though.

That's is what I thought but I was 100% sure ScottGem. He has to move. Can he sue his former landlord for rent and security deposit?

He can try, but if the house is in foreclosure hard to collect.
