Illegal Eviction Foreclosure Rights

Summary

In California, foreclosure does not automatically terminate leases. Tenants with a valid lease have rights under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act, which requires landlords to give a 90-day notice to tenants. If you were evicted despite having a lease, you may have grounds for a wrongful foreclosure lawsuit. A written lease agreement can be crucial evidence. Consult a local attorney for guidance based on specific state laws and your unique circumstances.

I was locked out of my house by the sheriff's office because the bank supposedly foreclosed on my house but the bank says they didn't know what I was talking about. The guy who accompanied the officer representing the bank didn't even know who was evicting us
