Upcoming Foreclosures

Vacate a rental lease in Florida?

I signed a rental contract starting July 1 - tried to turn on the water - was told the Bank owned the house - found out house was foreclosed and sold to the bank july 09 - title in the banks name - landlord and agent state there is a "modification in progress" which is why the home is in the banks name (lie) and by law I can still move in, the contract is still binding cause until the house is sold the owner can do what ever they want. went to the court house and pulled the file and yes the title has been granted to the bank. Landlord and agent say I am trying to "break" the contract in which I am not entitled any money be returned. Never moved in the house, cant turn on the water. I have all the copies of the foreclosure and title transfer to the bank and am currently living in a hotel cause I have no where else to go and they will not give me back my money? What can I do?

1. As long as you have "Proof" the home is currently titled to the bank I believe you have to avenues of recourse 1. the agent, I assume you are talking about a licensed real estate agent? if the case, the agent could very well be in ethic violations, unless the agent has a contract with the lender ie the title owner they are engaging in fraud , does not , matter if the ex home owners is trying to get the property back at this time the legal owner is the bank and they are the only ones that can enter into a contract 2. the ex-home owner, you can try your state attorney general office fraud division, since they are trying to lease property they have no legal right too at this point assuming the property is owned by the lender or just sue in small claims not only for the monies owed but monies spent in hotel bills, because they breached the lease not you
2. My first question is who did you sign the lease with ?
