We are renting a foreclosure home in California and I wanted to know my rights with the current owner. The home just went out of pre-foreclosure but the eviction notice hasnt made it here yet. The owner of the home tried to enter at night time with no advance notice and I didnt let him. He has personal items and tools in the garage and I think he wants to remove items from the home like the HVAC unit and water heater. Does he have the right to do this while I live here?
