In San Francisco, is a verbal agreement legally binding?
I came in contact with an individual who is attempting to sublease a residence in San Francisco that he had a verbal agreement to lease from the land lord. The Land lord went into foreclosure and now the bank is attempting to take the property, but this tenant claims that in San Francisco specifically if a land lord forecloses, the tenants are inherited by the bank, meaning the bank is now the land lord and the tenants can continue to pay rent, and also that a verbal agreement between the tenant and the foreclosed land lord is legally binding enough for the bank to be incapable of seizing the house, nor would they be able to evict the tenants.
It sounds like a long shot but I am under the impression that San Francisco may have some of these laws.
