Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Owner being foreclosed on we are leasing/TX

We started leasing a home in Texas. We have been in the home 2 months & have just found out the owner is being foreclosed on. What legal options do we have other than buying the house?

You may want to contact the company foreclosing on the property. You may be allowed to remain until the end of the lease. If not, they may give you adequate time to relocate but you need to contact them first and put them on notice regarding this. Be diligent as you dont want them to acknowledge you.

Of course you could sue the owner for their allowing it to be foreclosed but you already know that if they could not pay for their own property the odds of them having anything to pay you are slim.
