My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Michigan

I currently rent a home that i signed a one year lease for in nov of 07. In Feb of 08 my landlord contacted me and said that he would be letting the house go to forclosure. I paid all rent payments on time as well as one months security deposit. He told me if the house went to auction he would let me live rent free as long as i could, but i would not get my security deposit back. The house went to auction in April of 08 and now he is contacting stating the following. This is an email i recieved

Hi. Hope you are doing well. I hope that you are back to work and things have returned to normal for you. You are in the house without a rent payment until at least October, so that should help your finances. I have not checked dates to see if anything has changed on that end to lengthen the amount of time that you are able to stay. If things are as I expect, You should be able to, if you wish, purchase the property from the bank for around $110-$125 once the process is complete, which is more along the price range that you and Kelly can afford comfortably. I have obviously been through a lot over these last few months and I am sorry that it has affected you both negatively and positively. I have relocated and am now out of state hoping to get a fresh start. Until the time that the foreclosure process is complete, I am the registered owner of the property. I have been approached by someone who wants to buy the appliances (including the washer and dryer). I am in need of the money, however rather than just selling them, you obviously need them. I will offer them to you (washer,dryer, refrigerator, stove and dishwasher) for $250 each. They are less than 2 years old and I paid more than double that. Please let me know if you are interested or if you want to make a counter offer. I hope you are well otherwise. Good luck in your future endeavors and with your family.


Does anyone have any advice for this
