The Protecting Tenants At Foreclosure Act provided the following benefits to tenants: The act permits tenants to remain in their dwelling until the end of their lease; Tenants without a legal lease, or whose lease recently expired, are entitled to 90 days notice before having to vacate the property.

If you live in the City of Los Angeles, renters in good standing cannot be evicted because of a foreclosure. (See details below.) If you live anywhere else in California, renters get until the end of their lease, or at least 90 days, to move out in a foreclosure.

Two months

Tenants may stay in their rental residence up to two months following sale of the foreclosed property. If there is a security deposit, tenants can withhold rent and let the security deposit cover the last month before the foreclosure 'redemption' period expires.

During the foreclosure case, the owner is still in charge of keeping your home or apartment in livable condition and still collects rent and can start a case in Court against you. But, you can't be evicted without a court order. Whoever buys the building at a foreclosure sale can't make you move out right away.

7 months after being served or 3 months after judgment (whichever is later): right to redemption expires. 10 days before sale: receive written notice. 15 days after property is sold: an eviction notice is entered. 30 days after property is sold: you may be forcibly evicted.

Tenants in Non-Regulated Units: Tenants residing in units that are not subject to rent control or rent stabilization may retain occupancy either until the end of their lease term or for 90 days after receipt of the notice from the new owner, whichever is greater.
