New Protections for Tenants in
Foreclosed Properties
During the foreclosure
crisis, renters in good standing
have been evicted from proper
ties in foreclosure with little or
no notice.
Effective May 20, 2009,
most tenants will now have the
right to remain in their homes
after foreclosure for ninety
days or, in some cases, until the
end of their lease term. The
law applies to any foreclosure
on a federally related mortgage
or any residential mortgage
foreclosure occurring after
May 20, 2009. Unless extend
ed, the laws protections will
expire on December 31, 2012.
Prior to enactment of the
Protecting Tenants at
Foreclosure Act of 2009, the
law in Georgia was that a fore
closure terminated the tenants
lease and the tenant could be
asked to vacate immediately
following the foreclosure sale.
If the tenant refused to vacate,
judicial action could be filed to
evict the tenant. Federal law
now provides that the purchas
er at a foreclosure sale must
permit tenants with leases
entered into before the notice
of foreclosure to occupy the
premises until the end of the
lease term. If the tenants lease
has less than 90 days remain
ing, the tenant must be given a
90 days notice before having to
vacate the property. If the ten
ant does not have a written
lease or has a month-to-month
lease, the tenant must still be
given a 90 day notice to vacate.
Only if the purchaser at
foreclosure intends to use the
property as his primary resi
dence may the tenants lease be
terminated and then only with
a 90 day prior notice.
Section 8 housing voucher
tenants are given additional
protections under the Act.
The purchaser at foreclosure
must accept the Section 8
voucher holders lease and the
former owners subsidy con
tract with the housing authori
ty. The purchaser at foreclo
sure will be entitled to the
housing subsidy payments and
the rent under the tenants
lease. At the end of the vouch
er lease, the new owner may
terminate the tenancy by pro
viding the tenant a 90-day
notice to vacate. The only
exception is that the owner can
terminate the housing voucher
lease and subsidy contract if
he intends to occupy the unit
as a primary residence but
only if the tenant is given 90
days prior notice to vacate.
To be covered under the
Act, the lease must not be
between family members. For
example, the lease cannot be
between the former owners
and that owners child, spouse,
or parent.
