Question We are unsure, but it looks like our brand new landlord (we haven't signed a lease yet!) might be going through bankruptcy soon.
As long as there is no clause in the lease, our agreement with the current landlord stands through the end of our lease, right? Does it matter if the condo goes to the bank, a new owner, or somewhere else?
Thanks!
Answer If your landlord goes through a bankruptcy, you will be contacted by a Bankruptcy Trustee. This person will give you instructions on what to do. Until and unless you are contacted by a third party with Court authority, you are still obligated to pay rent to the landlord.
