Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosures questions-How will I know that my landlord is trying to evict me?

This is a very imperative question. Matter of fact this one might be the most important questions out of the ones that I have written and/or going to write about. Many DC Tenants don't know that the DC House that they are renting is about to be foreclosed on.

You will know that your DC Landlord is about to evict you when you receive a notice. After the notice expires,you should receive a summons telling you to come to court. Sometimes the new owner will file a lawsuit at a DC Landlord Tenant Court against the old landlord. If you receive court papers at the property with the old landlord's name,it is very important that you go to court. You could be evicted for no reason if you do not appear in court,even if the court papers are in the name of the old landlord.

And if you have missed some of my past blogs on Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosures,you can catch up here.

Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-Can I still be evicted?

To evict a Washington DC Tenant, the new owner must take the tenant to court and prove that the tenant has been given a proper notice and that the landlord has a proper reason to end the tenancy. For example, if the new owner says that the tenant has not paid the rent, then the owner will have to prove that to a judge or jury. You may have defenses against the owner's lawsuit. It is very important to talk to an attorney about your rights as a Washington DC tenant. Don't just assume anything. Know the facts.

Nick Galifiannakis for the Washington Post. I was reading the Washington Post when I stumbled upon this. I said to myself "I had to take a picture of this one. Thought it will make a very good Wordless Wednesday post. But this probably a Petworth DC House for sale. Then again with that price it could be a house for sale in Georgetown DC.
