Tenant Rights Foreclosure

As a tenant facing foreclosure, it’s crucial to understand your rights and legal options. Wright Street Lawyers in Adelaide, South Australia, is here to provide client-focused legal guidance and representation in such challenging situations.

Understanding Tenant Rights in Foreclosure

When a rental property is foreclosed upon, tenants often find themselves in a precarious position. It’s important to know that tenants have legal rights that must be upheld during the foreclosure process.

1. Can a New Owner Evict Me Immediately?

No, as a tenant, you have rights even in the event of foreclosure. The new owner must honor the terms of your existing lease agreement, which means they cannot evict you immediately.

2. Should I Continue Paying Rent?

Yes, it’s crucial to continue paying rent to the new owner or the court-appointed receiver during the foreclosure process. Failing to do so could jeopardise your tenancy rights.

3. What Are My Options If I Receive an Eviction Notice?

If you receive an eviction notice after a foreclosure, seek legal advice immediately. Wright Street Lawyers can help you understand your rights, challenge the eviction if necessary, and explore potential defenses.
