Legally a landlord cannot evict his or her tenant from a rental that is in foreclosure (voluntary or involuntary) if the tenant is not in breach of the lease unless the lease is a month-to-month lease.
Post foreclosure, the new landlord cannot evict the tenant from the property is the tenant is not in breach of the lease and must wait until the lease's full term expires for lease termination. However, if the lease is a month-to-month lease, the new landlord cannot evict the tenant unlss 90 days notice is given.
