After renting my appartment for 23 months I read in the newspaper that the property owner had defaulted on his loan and the property was scheduled to be auctioned off in 2 weeks. I confronted the "on-site manager" (shes also the owners mother) and she denied having any knowledge of any default or auction. I never received any notice after the auction date that the property had been sold nor switched ownership in any way. I have not been able to contact the original owner at the time I began renting the unit either. Now its time to pay rent and the original owners brother-in-law shows up at my door demanding the rent be paid to him. I stated that as soon as someone provides me with documentation showing they have the legal authorization to accept payment for the rent I would gladly pay them. The brother-in-law served me with a 3-day notice stating he was the "legal agent" of the original owner. I do not believe him, he has no proof he is the agent for the owner (I've never met either of them) nor can he prove his brother-in-law even still owns the property. How can I find out who actually owns the property?
