    Renters right during foreclosure in California
    We have recently received a notice on our door-"Notice of Trustee's Sale" on July 21st, 2008. We have been renting this property in Southern California since September 07 and have signed a one year lease. For the past 6 months we have been getting random mail about a debt being owed by our landlords and have forwarded it all to them. They have continually informed us there is nothing to worry about and that they have it taken care of. Before this notice was posted yesterday on the door, we believed them. I called the loan corporation regarding the letter and they said a payment plan has been arranged by the owners but the sale could continue. I know that in the event of foreclosure your lease is no longer valid. I have a few questions: will we be given the standard 30 day notice? Can we be legally forced out in a shorter amount of time? Will they still be required to provide us with our security deposit? Can we be locked out of our house with out notice? I am a single mom with a 3 year old son and his safety and happiness is of course my number one priority so any advice you give me is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    In California there are actually protections. Your landlord can not charge you rent if they are in the procedure of foreclosure, unless there is a plan in place to keep the propery, ( seems to be your case)
    Sorry don't have the link for that, but it is posted here on similar questions. California is one of the few states that offer any protection at all.

    They by law are suppose to give you the security deposit, but lets talk frank, they don't have the money to pay the payment, do you think they actually have your deposit to give you back?

    You can not be locked out without notice, they have to give you notice and you have the right to appear in housing court and ask for more time if they are evicting you.
