Last December 11, a notice was posted on the door of the house we're renting which said the mortgage payments were 3 months behind. I immediately called the landlady, and she told me she was working on a problem wherein she had made payments to the bank but with an incorrect account number, and was trying to resolve the issue.
On February 8 (a Friday), a new notice was posted on the door, saying the house is going to auction May 9, 2008. Again, I immediately called the landlady (this time it was around 10pm) and she sleepily said she thought she had it fixed and she would check into it the following week. Then she stopped answering the phone when I called.
So last week I sent her a certified letter asking her to explain what's going on. Yesterday the Post Office signature receipt came in the mail, so at least she didn't refuse the letter.
The whole thing really sucks, because based on everything I can find about bank sales of foreclosed homes, a new owner can ignore our lease and start eviction proceedings once they take possession of the house. I don't want to move, but I have to plan as if that's coming.
