SearchTenant rights in foreclosure?
G asks:
(updated on Sunday, June 08th 2014)
If a property that I am tenant of be foreclosed by a bank then what rights do I have? Can I be immediately evicted? There is a mine in the area I live (and the property is affected) so it is not an easy one to sell.
Our Experts Answer:
When the owner of a property does not meet their obligations to a bank, the bank may take possession of the property. In most cases the bank will sell the property to recover any money it is owed. The bank becomes your landlord until the sale of the premises is completed and has the same rights and responsibilities as your former landlord. The bank is bound by the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and by the tenancy agreement. The Ministry has prepared an information sheet for parties affected by mortgagee sales.
