    Foreclosure of rental property
    My landlord stopped making his mortgage payments in December and we don't know if he is in foreclosure. How do we find out?

    Check with the county. A foreclosure process has to be filed with the county clerk.

    If you have a follow-up question, please reply to this thread, don't start a new question. Once the house has been foreclosed on you will recevie a vacate notice from the new owner. That notice can be anywhere from a few days to a few months. Even if its only a few days, you can fight for more time.

    rachelpruet disagrees: I called my county clerk & they said they had no way for them to find out. This is in Gila County, Az.

    First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

    Just because your county clerk claims they can't doesn't mean my advice was incorrect.
    Frankly, I think you were lied to. Real Estate transactions are generally registered with the county clerk. They should be notified in case of a foreclosure.
