New law may help renters caught in the foreclosure debacle
In the wake of record home foreclosures around the nation, it is not just homeowners who are losing their homes. Many of these homes are occupied by renters, and in a typical foreclosure, the renter can be evicted and forced to move even if he or she is current on their rent. However, one section of a recently enacted federal law, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, may provide some protection for these innocent families.
The new law applies to the foreclosure of “federally-related” mortgages, which includes residential mortgages made by any bank or insured or guaranteed by the federal government or sold to any of the federally regulated agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association.
Most residential mortgages will be covered. Under the new legislation, in most cases, renters who are current on their rent will be protected for at least 90 days and perhaps longer. Even if there is no lease or if the property is sold after foreclosure to someone who plans to use it as a primary residence, the law will requre that the rental tenant be allowed at least 90 days to relocate.
