Renter's Rights in Texas

Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009

If your landlord is facing foreclosure, you have rights. On May 20, 2009, a federal law protecting tenants and renters went into effect. This new law (Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act) requires banks and their foreclosure firms to provide bona fide tenants with more time to vacate the property after a foreclosure sale. In the past, the occupant of a foreclosed property was typically given 3 days notice to vacate the property. The rules have now changed. If (1) you are a renter whose landlord is facing foreclosure; (2) you are a tenant who has leased a property that has been foreclosed; (3) your landlord is delinquent on the mortgage or (4) you are facing an eviction because your landlord failed to pay the mortgage, you should strongly consider legal representation.
