My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California, Riverside County
Last month I received a notice on my door informing me, the tenant, that the house I currently occupy would be sold May 21st at auction. The sale has since been postponed to June 21st. My question relates to the lease agreement: I signed a year lease with the homeowner that took effect October 1st.
With all of what's happening now I want to leave and rent another property that I know is in good financial standing. I work out of my home and all of this uncertainty of what will happen to this house has been very stressful. Since finding this new place, I'm wondering if I can just pick up and leave.
The landlord never informed me of the foreclosure proceedings nor has she provided me with any written proof that she was in good financial standing with her loan provider at the time of my signing of the lease.
I am wondering if I leave whether she can sue me for breach of contract since I would essentially be leaving the lease early.
Thanks!
