Rights of a Renter in a Foreclosure

We have been renting a foreclosure home in California as well as we longed for to know my rights with a stream owner. The home only went out of pre-foreclosure though a eviction notice hasnt done it here yet. The owners of a home attempted to come in during night time with no allege notice as well as we didnt let him. He has personal equipment as well as collection in a garage as well as we consider he wants to mislay equipment from a home similar to a HVAC section as well as H2O heater. Does he have a right to do this whilst we live here?

Personal items, yes. Parts of the house like the water heater or
HVAC system, no.
Well, your lease is valid and binding on YOU until the foreclosure process is completed, when your lease is voided.
READ your lease as to LL’s rights. Check out your state LL/Tenant law and foreclosure law/tenant protections. He certainly cannot remove HVAC and water heater while you’re living there and needing a/c or hot water. Legally he probably can’t remove those items anyway.
Certainly LL has right to remove his personal items and tools in shed, but not at night if those areas are part of your leasehold, he must give you reasonable notice. If the shed is excluded from what you rent or not included, then he can remove his stuff whenever.
It is important to know the rights of the foreclosure as a renter..If you don’t formally get a notice, you will know about an impending eviction because there have to be notices posted on the building for a period of around 20 days, depending on your state of residence.If you at all suspect that your landlord may be headed for foreclosure, you can check foreclosure listings online…
