The owner refused to take our rent and told us to pack our belongings up asap
On August 1st, 2012, we attempted to pay the rent to the owner of the single family house that we live in with him. He refused to take our rent money and told us to start packing our belongings because the house had gone into foreclosure. We have been actively looking for a new place, but with limited funds it has been difficult. We will hear this week if we are approved for an apartment and hope to move out asap. The owner asked me today if he were able to save the house were we going to stay. I told him no. He then stated that we would have to start paying rent again immediately. Are we liable to pay him rent since he had refused our payment & told us the house was in foreclsure? Is there a law in Virginia to recoup our past rent paid since he stopped paying the mortgage?
Thank you
