I live in hawaii. I was illegally evicted for my home that was foreclosed on. I did recieve paperwork about the foreclosure. However it had the wrong address on the paperwork. It stated D12 I lived in D17. Additionally processer were posing as sheriffs. On a wed, left no paperwork just a phone number with a neighbor hand written. I called the sheriffs dispach to find out why they were at my home. Answer was there shouldnt be anyone at my home. However, Thursday I had 1 hour to pack and leave. I asked for the ejectment notice from the courts with my name and correct address stated on it. There were no such papers. I ask the police who were with the processer for their call sign and or cards. They ignored me. And to add insult to injury. Neighbors called to let me know that the processer who were pcking up my home gave my personal property to the movers and they have a detailed list.

I am renting a home in Louisiana that just went to auction. Can anyone tell me if there is a law that allows me to stay in the home for a specified period. I have heard I have 90 days but I am looking for the citation that gives me that right. Thanks

As a renter in a home that has been foreclosed. I now have my 90 days to rent the home and prepare myself to move. My question is, do I have to show the home during this 90 day period?

UNFAIR TO THE LENDER ?? IT IS MOSTLY UNFAIR TO THE TENANT WHO PAID HIS RENT BUT YOU DID NOT USE THIS MONEY TO PAY YOUR LOAN AND AT
THE TIME OF THE NOTICE OF DEFAULT …YOU DEFAULTED AND RENTS PAID
SHOULD GO TO THE LENDER NOT BORROWER AS UNDER THE NEW LAW COLLECTING RENTS AFTER 30 DAYS FROM THE NOTICE IS ILLEGAL AND YOU CAN BE SUED

I know it’s very unfortunate. As a Landlord and having a good renter, I feel very bad that this is happening. But my renter told me that her lawyer said that I had breached the contract and therefore my renter did not have to pay me anymore rent. So, does my renter is legally authorized to live for free? The property is still under my name until the bank takes it away right? This is so confusing and unfair to the lender.

Foreclosure is such a hard situation for all involved. From the property owner who lost the property because he couldn’t keep current with the loan to the tenant that has lived in the property. What’s amazing is the government need to legislating what the self interest of the lender should already be. The Mortgage Company is in the lending business. Why you would want to evict a rent paying tenant because the landlord changes is beyond me
