Re: depozit
Good question. First, check your state law to see if any special protections have been enacted in the case of foreclosure. Some states are giving tenants special rights when their rental property if foreclosed on.
If there are none, you will have to sue the LL for the deposit money back. Get a judgement for that amount, then try to garnish his wages or put a lien on his personal residence. |
