This chapter in the Legal Tactics: Private Housing e-book explains your legal rights as a tenant when your building is foreclosed. 

Foreclosure is when a bank or other lender takes back property because the owner did not repay the loan. The bank usually holds an auction, and the highest bidder becomes the new owner.
