Must we give a 30 day notice to a land lord that is unreachable and plans to foreclose on the house we are living in?
We have lived in this man’s house for over a year and have suddenly been informed that the house will go up for foreclosure June 2. Are we still tied to a 30 day move out notice, considering we have less than two weeks before it is foreclosed? We don’t want to get bad credit if we move out immediately.

I'm not a Texas lawyer, but it's my understanding that not doing things the right way, when leaving a rented home, can give you long-term trouble renting another place.
Your questions doesn't say what stage the foreclosure is in, if June 2 is the date it is going to hearing, to judgment, or to sale. That might be important, and it might also have a bearing on where you send the June rent check.
I would recommend that you talk to a lawyer in your area about this, who can read the notice and explain your rights to you exactly, based on all of the facts of your case. One place to look for an attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com
