What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
Been living in this home for a little over 2 years. Haven't heard from our landlord for at least a year. No contact at all. Emails bounce back, phones are disconnects. We stopped paying rent and put it aside. Still no contact from him. He makes home improvement videos on youtube so we know he's still alive.
Earlier this summer, a representative from the mortgage company showed up at the home & told us he's not paying his mortgages on this or his other rentals. Foreclosure would be coming. Last month, a man from the sheriff's department showed up with a notice for sheriff's sale. Neither of these people were able to contact the landlord either.
Taxes aren't ridiculous on the property. What is involved at a sheriff's sale ? I'm considering trying to get the property for the tax amount ? Would I then be default mortgage holder? People have told me that the bank probably won't let the property go because they'd lose the mortgage money.
I'd like a clearer picture of what I'm about to try and involve myself in I guess.
