I Signed a 6 Month Lease and is due on June 30, 2010. But I got a letter on my door "NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE" saying that the property is going to be sold at a public action in 22 days. But the current owner and I signed a 6 month lease. I saw this coming like 4 weeks ago because I got another letter on my door "NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND ELECTION TO SELL UNDER DEED OF TRUST"
.So I payed April's rent but as of today I have not send May's rent. I feel like not paying may's rent because it got me mad when I got " NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE" letter a couple of days ago. Even knowing that the property will be sold at a public action on the 14 of June I still have left a couple more weeks on my Lease. The Owner contact me on May 10 VIA TEXT saying I was late and the late fee has been added to this Month's rent. a $250 late fee. He contacted me via text and he told me he sent me a certefied letter but that he hasn't received proof that I received it, the reason is because I don't have the Key for the mail box, I lost it.
So I need some advice on the following:
-Should I pay Mays rent or should I let him get it from my $1,500.00 deposit?
- Who is breaking the lease/Contract, me or the Landlord? Me because I haven't payed him yet? Or him Because he will not be the property owner after June 14 and the Lease he gave me is due on June 30?
- Let's say if I decide to stay with out paying any rent from now on can I get kicked out of the house by new property owner on June 15 or I will be able to stay the rest of the Lease I had with old owner?
I am a little confuse so I Just need some advice of what to do and of course do the right thing!
Thanks,
Jason
