Obama Signs New Federal Law Protecting Renters after Foreclosure
June 03, 2009
From Tenants Together
A new law passed by Congress and signed May 20, 2009, by President Obama provides protections for tenants whose landlords fall into foreclosure. Under the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, tenants have the right to stay in their homes after foreclosure for 90 days or through the term of their lease. The bill also provides similar protections to housing voucher holders. The protections go into effect immediately and expire at the end of 2012.
