Well, it’s pretty, pink, & somewhat moist…
Jesus man, I understand the situation–the woman rented a house in a market where houses are renting well below the morgage in most markets. She rolled the dice and lost. It happens.
This appears to indicate that you do not, in fact, understand the situation.
I did a search for that-and actually, that’s complete bullshit. I’d like a cite for that.
As for the last tooth-I lost it to a gum ball. I’m savin’ up to get me a pair a of those choppers from one of dem mail catalogs! 
Can you explain where I have gone wrong?
Actually, it brings up an interesting new angle if what he/she said is factually accurate. The lessee may have been able to rent the house becaues the leasing market is depressed, which would naturally put pressure on lessors’ ability to pay the mortgage.
I’m a she.
As t to the rest–It is happening-( see the OP for my cite) -you can rent much more house now in most markets than you can buy because of the depressed market. All of the house flippers are now caught with property they can’t get rid of. The risk is now on the renter, you can get a whole lotta house from someone who is trying to break even. Sometimes they can carry it, sometimes they can’t. It is pretty easy to figure out – if it is too good to be true, it is.
I hope you get that promotion out of the mailroom soon, dude. Those photocopier fumes are messing with your head.

For a totally unrelated jurisdiction but…
for New Zealand, there is a tenancy tribunal that by law, all security deposits must be paid to. This protects both the tenant and the landlord in the case of any disputes.
Also, it has always been my understanding that a long term tenancy remains in place even if the house is sold. (not sure about foreclosed though). Its quite normal to see in a property listing “tenanted on long term lease”.
In this situation, I would **expect **that the tenant would be allowed to serve out the original lease while the bank may well list the property, put it up for auction or whatever.
Yes, and your point is? I never said, “But I CAN’T do that!” (I can’t even remember what happened-I think I had to have it yanked, that was what-six years ago? When at least I had insurance.)
But what brought this on, I don’t know. (Actually, my teeth are fine now-or at least, they’re not my main concern) What, you got tired of sucking Rand Rover’s dick?
What brought this on is that you irritate me. Your overall tone grates on my nerves. You offer advice and critique rather matter of factly when everyone here knows have never really taken resposibility for your own destiny or self improvement. It is easy to talk the talk, but ISTM that you do not walk the walk.
That having been said, I was bitchy and really should have held my tongue. You and I have a decidedly different worldview–we will never see eye to eye. Let’s agree to disagree.
It is a basic principle of Anglo-American real-property law that if you acquire a piece of real property by purchase, foreclosure, or any other means, you acquire it subject to all previously valid mortgages, easements, liens, encumbrances, or leases. IOW, you can’t evict a tenant before the lease term expires. That is the law in every state of the Union. Was it not applied here?
In California, if the owner sold the property, the new owner would take it subject to the lease. However, a foreclosure usually terminates the owner’s interest and any leasehold interest, unless the lease predates the mortgage.
In most situations, the mortgagor did not issue the mortgage subject to the lease because the mortgage usually predates the lease, so the foreclosure on the mortgage is not subject to the lease in those cases.
If the lease predates the mortgage, then the mortgage is subject to the lease and leasehold interest is not terminated by foreclosure unless the agreements subordinate the leasehold interest to the mortgage.
Rand Rover, I’m curious about something. You’ve said you have no sympathy for the tenant because she suffered a reasonably foreseeable consequence of a business transaction. (I am paraphrasing.) What do you think prospective tenants should do to reduce this risk? Do you think that having a lease the tenant and landlord have agreed to and fulfilling the terms of that lease isn’t enough to mitigate that risk? Should prospective tenants do background checks on landlords, just as some landlords do on tenants? In my county, property taxes have abruptly increased when properties have been reassessed at higher values. Should tenants try to find out when such changes in property taxes take place and try to stay abreast of them? I admit I’ve never done a background check on a potential landlord or employer; do you think a reasonable person should do such a thing to reduce his or her risk? Do you think a person who doesn’t take such precautions deserves whatever he or she gets? I’m not trying to be antagonistic. I’m just genuinely curious about what you think the tenant should have done to avoid this situation.
More to the point, even if you did say it, you didn’t say it to her, as there were no posts to the thread following hers. 
And if anything-that’s Opal’s MO, usually, not mine.
Waitaminnit, now, that’s not the law. A lease is like a mortgage or an easement; it runs with the property, and anyone who purchases real property or acquires it in foreclosure or by inheritance or any other way takes it subject to all encumbrances. She should have at least been allowed to stay to the end of her lease term.
In the case of the OP, it appears the issuance of the mortgage predates the creation of the leasehold interest, so the mortgage is not subject to the lease, and mortgage foreclosure would extinguish the leasehold interest.
