    Renting apartment in lis pendence
    I am currently renting an apartment that is individually owned, and on the public records site for FL shows that it is in lis pendence. What does that mean to me as the renter and does it break the lease? The landlord or leasing office hasn't said anything about it to me but the public records don't lie.

    This means that there is a pending suit against the owner. And no, it doesn't break the lease. In fact, its of no concern to you unless and until it forces a change of ownership.

    No, it doesn't change anything. The lis pendens is an issue the owner of the property has to deal with. It is none of your business until and unless it results in a foreclosure. In which case you get ample warning plus you will have 90 days to move after the foreclosure is final.

    If someone was suing you and you were able to resolve the problem without disrupting your rent payments, would the that have any effect on the landlord? So why should this affect you?
