I moved into a townhouse in August. The landlord stopped mortgage payments, association payments and property tax payments in October. At what point does the landlord violate their lease agreement for failure to pay their mortgage? We were told we weren't going to be getting our security deposit back even though it should be in a non-interest bearing account, and that in lieu of the security deposit we could live out our last month for free. They've not paid the mortgage for 5 months now and are declaring bankruptcy AND going into foreclosure any day now, but they still seem to think we owe them rent. What are my rights/options and whats the name of the website I can check to see when foreclosure proceedings have been filed?
