owner of house i am renting disappears off face of earth

[sublime]

so about 6 mos ago we started renting a house in the posh anthem country club. owner of house is young, seemingly with it, single woman. a tad flaky, but whatever.

haven't had ANY contact with her in 4 months. gardeners stopped showing up, but since they woke me up once a week i didn't give a [censored]. well we finally need her for something important and call her like 5 times with no response. i called her former business partners and she sold her share a while ago to them and they cant get in touch with her either.

so im like ok, ill hold off rent next month until she calls us back. (note we have paid rent on time every month)...im liek great idea, then i can bitch her out and feel macho. well so much for that idea:

NOTICE TO VACATE THE PREMISES BY A LAW FIRM HIRED BY THE LOAN FIRM SHE USED. FORECLOSURE.

WTF

she has a sister i am going to (try?) track down, but WTF this is super weird. if she died you would think a call would have been made to us.

anyways we signed a lease with HER. so what are our rights? anybody have any idea?

also fwiw i originally thought she was avoiding our calls because i told her to wear something sexy when she came to pick up mail (which she has never done).

oh that sent her over the edge and she stopped paying her mortgage and had her house foreclosed on and severed her relationship with her business?

That's still a pretty asinine comment to make to your landlord. I imagine foreclosures are stacking up in Anthem, and you're not the only renter caught in the middle. Call a lawyer and find out your rights.

dude i make asinine comments to everybody. how i roll, landlords aint exempt.

interesting. I'm guessing that you'll have to move eventually, but you could make it a huge pain in the ass for them simply by doing nothing and live rent free for a couple months.

i mean they cant just have deputys show up tomorrow and be like get out, right?

i hope the company that now owns it would just take the xxxx a month till the lease is up. anything else would be a major PIA. even this is a PIA as we love this house.

There's procedures to evicting you. And you can drag it out. Check with some local resource.

If you can get a hold of her sister, ask her to pass along the message that you'll sleep with your former landlord for a nominal fee. You can tell she's facing some hard times, and you want to do what you can to help.
