Hi, all!
I'm currently in a 1 year lease for an condominium in Scottsdale, AZ.
It seems my landlord stopped paying the mortgage on the property a month before I signed my lease (bad landlord). I just received a Notice of Trustee's Sale on the condo -- it's going to auction on 9/15. He's trying to short sell it in the meantime. I'm not really down with having a bunch of potential buyers/realtors/etc. marching through my home for the next who-knows-how-many-months, so I'd like to just walk away and move elsewhere.
My lease agreement includes a clause titled 'Trustee's Sale Notice'. It states, "Landlord shall not allow the Premises to become the subject of a trustee's sale." My question is: is he in breach now, or will he only be in breach after the property actually goes on the auction block and/or is sold?
Any idea? Or is there any other reason that I might justifiably be able to walk away?
