He may be trying to get a mod so that he can keep the house. There are a ton of issues here. You need to talk with the guy and try to mediate before court. Is the landlord still past due?

The owner in many cases had to pay closing and put down money when they bought the place and are loosing already. Seems like those people on here pointing the finger and talking about how things are not fair, are themselves the ones who are trying to get a free ride and get something out of it. Renters do not own anything, you rent either because your credit sucks or you do not want to buy or do not have the cash to buy a house. This person is writing this article as if they are the victims and has been doing it for a long time. You do not own. You obviously know what is going on and you have known for a while, get another place if you can or is your situation just as bad and this is really the pot calling the kettle black? If the property is in foreclosure as many of you are stating then that means that the bank has taken possession and the owner does not have title to the property anymore. Your fight is with the bank, not the owner who just lost. Drama queens! It seems like renters are forgetting the the ultimate responsibility for everything is on the owner.

These landlords are so selfish and mean,they should let the tenants know whats going on. But they do not have a heart so they go through hard times it is screw everyone, they do not care if you have children or not. Heartless landlords.

I ended up just moving and not paying her for 2 months which equaled my security deposit which she didnt have and had spent. So, essentially she was in breach of the lease agreement and I was also. It was a rental stalemate. Now, I am in a better home, in a better location and my family is much happier. So, maybe this was all meant to be. I understand what you are saying.

You have agreed to pay rent each month for you occupancy of the property, if you fail to pay you could be evicted, and could be liable for the cost to evict you and your family. It is NOT a defense for you to say "the landlord is not paying so i do not have to pay". your obligation to pay is Not related to the landlords obligation to pay.

The landlord takes on the entire credit risk of the non-payment, and this becomes even more likely should tenants not pay. The top reason tenants give for renting is not having "all that responsibility." I often find tiresome when tenants make the law up in their own head as to what they "feel" is fair, not knowing that there are many reasons why the arrangement in which they have agreed is deemed legally equitable.
