Help! Day before Foreclosure Auction, can
it be stopped? Renter in need of advice!!? Ok, so here is my situation. (FYI: I am in Wisconsin...if that matters?) Last winter we had a letter delivered from a lawyers office informing us of the Foreclosure...After talking to our landlord we were assured they were in the process of refinancing and getting it all taken care of, they told us not to worry it was all getting taken care of.Well last week Thursday I got a knock on the door from some guy saying he was interested in putting a bid in on the house, I was in shock! I had no idea! So after some net searching and bank calling it was confirmed the house is up for a Sheriffs Auction on the 26th...TOMORROW! Well as soon as we found out (last week) we called the landlords and they told us this story of how their daughter was not making our rent payments so it got messed up, but again assured us they were taking care of it and not to worry. (Mind you the court info says they owe $88,000 something)Well we called the bank again this morning and they said that our landlords lawyer has been in contact but as of this morning everything for the auction is still set and that she would call us end of day to let us know if the auction is still on or if it has been rescheduled. I started doing some packing over the weekend despite how busy we were this weekend and now I do not know my rights as a tenant if I can withhold my rent for November to use and find someplace else to go...that is if the auction gets postponed...I am just so lost and confused as to what to do and what to believe...If anyone can give me some advice...or anything...please please help!No, I have not asked about this before...And we also thought our landlord had fixed the issue a long time ago and if that guy had not come to the door would still be clueless as to what was going on...The main thing is, if they do figure something out to postpone, can they get us in legal trouble for not paying Novembers rent and getting out the first week or so in November? We also are not in a lease...we now know why they have been dragging their feet to get the new one to us since June!
