Prohibit landlords from evicting tenants during foreclosure proceedings
In Plain English
When rental properties face foreclosure, landlords often evict tenants before the bank takes over. This law blocks those evictions during the foreclosure process. Tenants can stay in their homes while ownership transfers to the new owner. The protection ends once foreclosure completes and the property has a new owner.
