Thank you for using Just Answer. If you require clarification, please feel free to post a follow up question.Is there a written lease between you and the landlord?
We have a month to month lease. We always paid our rent in a timely manner. On 5/8/2012 we were served a copy of landlords foreclosure papers. Case #XXXXX Judge Kyle, Keith R. These papers, we realized that landlord Wayne Major had not paid his mortgage for three years.
The foreclosure does not eliminate the landlord's right to terminate a month to month tenancy. Tenancies without a specific lease termination date may be terminated pursuant to section 83.57, Florida Statutes, by either party giving a written notice to the other party. The length of notice required depends on the initial term of the tenancy. If the tenancy is from year to year, the party giving notice must give not less than 60 days' notice prior to the end of any annual period. If the tenancy is from quarter to quarter, by giving not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any quarterly period. If the tenancy is from month to month, by giving not less than 15 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period. If the tenancy is from week to week, by giving not less than 7 days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period.
