foreclosure / short sale? I have lived in 2 condos in the same neighborhood and both of them are in foreclosure! The first unit the owner did not want to give me back the deposit and would not return any of my calls. I then stopped paying her rent and have not heard from her since. We moved out because we recieved court documents that the bank was giving the property back to the owner. So I move, I have to pay another deposit and I go with a real estate agent assuming I would be safe from a foreclosure. I explained to them my situation with the previous landlord and told them that I did not want to have to deal with another foreclosure, (being that the bank can kick you out with a 48 hour notice) So after living in the new condo for 2 weeks (AT A HIGHER RENT RATE BY THE WAY) I get served papers that the property is in foreclosure. I call the real estate agent and they tell me its a short sale. STILL WHY IS THE CURRENT OWNER POCKETING MY RENT MONEY!? I am beyond irrate, I told them I did not feel comfertable throwing away my money and until the situation was handled I would not pay them rent. They said that if that was the case they would evict me. Can they do this and what rights do I have? Moving is not cheap and it is a hassle! I am tiered of people taking my money and leaving me stuck with moving expenses!

If you are living there, you have to pay rent. You aren't entitled to live anywhere for free.

If the property is in short sale then the owner is not is possession. You got screwed over. My advice is move to an area with a very low foreclosure rate or buy a condo. In the economy, you buy a condo or a house easily sometimes for just as much rent as you are paying. Best of luck.
