    Default Bankruptcy and Renting

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Massachusetts
    I rented a condo from a landlord who was in a active bankruptcy. He never made me aware of this, I have been paying my money and now are seeing default notices from the mortgAGE company. His bankruptcy was dismissed and not discharged, I have placed my rent in a escrow account until he makes it clear what is going on.. Can you tell me what to do. thanks, NM.

    The bankruptcy doesn't have any relevance to your situation; beyond that, you say it was dismissed.

    If you are concerned that your landlord is delinquent in his payments on the mortgage for the house you're renting, talk to your landlord about your concerns. As long as he owns the property he's your landlord and is entitled to charge you rent.

    Default Re: Bankruptcy and Renting

    We are in similiar situation and need info. Although the bank served us foreclosure papers as the "tenants in possession". We received this foreclosure on 4-21-09. Our landlord filed CHapter 7 on 4-22-09. Bank is not seeking relief from stay. ?? What does that mean to us? I am told by the landlord the trustee will take the rent soon. If so, what rights as far as length to stay in the home do we have. What are our rights 10 days, 30, days, 90 days??

    thanks - any info is helpful...
