What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
So my landlord is being sued by the county for 2008 and 2009 property taxes for the house I rent from him. His court date is in a couple of weeks and there is no chance he will be able to come up with the money he owes. He's also got the house on the market and it's at risk of being foreclosed on, although he says he'll file bankruptcy before that happens. (I don't think the foreclosure and sale are relevant to the situation, but I thought I'd include them just in case.)
So I assume this means that the county will sell the house at auction? Can anyone tell me what this means for me? Or how long it will take before I have to leave the house? I know if the house is foreclosed then I'll have at least 90 days to get out, but how would the tax lein affect that, if at all? I'm a month-to-month tenant, if that makes a difference.
