Is my house being foreclosed on
How can I find out the status of the house I am renting if I can not find my landlord? We have been renting a house in Cobb county, GA for the last 3 years. Our landlord had a few other businesses that in the last couple months we noticed have been shut down. A couple of months ago the LL gave us a stack of Suntrust deposit slips and asked that we pay our $900/mo rent straight into that account, which we did the last 2mos. But when I went to Suntrust on 7/1 to deposit the rent, they informed me that ALL of his accounts were closed. We tried calling the phone number we have for him and it goes straight to voicemail, but says mailbox is full (its been that way for the last month). How can I find out what is going on with this house if I cannot find my landlord? Should we just start packing now? I am a college student and work fulltime so if someone knocked on my door today and told me I need to pack up and go, the stress would be disastrous on my classes! I have to find out what is going on and how long I have to work with ASAP! Please, if anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate you taking the time to share w/me, Thank you

I'd start packing... if you can't even make your payments because the account is dead... thats a sure sign. I would set that money aside under the pretext that he might come back asking for it and giving a new account. You covered your butt if that happens. If it goes into foreclosure they should post something on the house. I lack the specific knoledge go go into more specifics as I understand that the laws have been in flux as to your rights as a tennent. And I don't know for sure exactly what they are at this point. |

I'm going to disagree here. Under federal law, you will be given 90 days from the date of foreclosure to vacate. That should give you plenty of time and leave you stress free. In the meantime deposit your rental payments into a separate savings account, so you have the money if and when it's called for. You can check with the local county clerk to see who holds the lien (mortgage) on the property and see if they will provide you with the status. |
