LA Renter Protection
Los Angeles has renter control, which protects some but not all renters.Rent control laws require landlords to have one of 12 specific reasons to evict a tenant... but foreclosure is NOT one of those reasons.
If a bank or lender which takes over a property in a foreclosure tries to evict a renter, call the Los Angeles Rent Control Hotline at (866) 557-7368.
After someone buys the property at a public auction, other people may try to collect rent. DON'T give money to anyone unless they can prove they own the property.
The Deed Upon Sale will tell you who the new owner is. You can get a copy by visiting the LA County Registrar Recorder's office at: 12400 Imperial Highway in Norwalk, or call (800) 973-3370 or (213) 974-1450.
