If a private person or investor—not a bank—buys your building at foreclosure, the Just Cause Eviction Law does not protect you. But you still have rights.
New owners after foreclosure must give most tenants at least 90 days’ notice or until the end of their lease before starting the eviction process in court.
If the new owner is not a bank it does not need just cause to evict you. But you still have the right to a court hearing where you can defend against the eviction.
