Hi Tricia,

Find out who holds the mortgage on the property. Contact the mortgage holder. Ask to speak to someone in ‘Loss Mitigation” and explain your circumstances. Have a copy of your lease and any notices that you have received indicating that the mortgage is in default. Have handy a copy of your rental history as well. Receipts,
canceled checks, etc. Be prepared to submit a copy of your lease to the bank as well as an offer to remain in the property at a reduced rate for a specific period of time.

If this is a property you would like to purchase, contact a REALTOR® who has experience with “Short Sales”. You may be able to purchase the property at a substantial discount directly from the bank.

I know that there is no comfort knowing that this is occurring across the Country. When it happens to you, this problem take on another dimension.

I am certain your landlord did not intend for this to happen. - Sun Jul 12 2009, 12:56
