Can Renters Check If Their Apt. Building Is In Foreclosure?

apartment foreclosure

I’ve had to move 3 times in the last 4 years. Because the apartment building that I live in has gone into foreclosure. The owner-of course-doesn’t tell us renters anything.

Is there a website that I can check before I move into a new apartment building to see if it’s in foreclosure? There are plenty of websites that want to SELL me a foreclosed building, but nothing that will check on an address that I imput to show if that given address is in foreclosure.

apartment rental?

I have sign up an apartment on early February with my friend. Until early April my friend tell me he don’t want that apartment now because he find a new apartment. So I decide to find myself another apartment. After I find myself a new apartment. I went to the old apartment rental office at middle May before semester final exam. Tell them I want to cancel the apartment and they tell me its okay. Recently the apartment send me a mail of all the information about move in. I call them back tell them I already cancel it. They tell me I cannot cancel it. Only way I can cancel it, is to find someone sub-leasing it. I tell them right now I’m in different state, there is no way I can get there and they tell me they will fax me the sub-leasing forum. After they fax me the forum, I fill it up and fax back. Here is my problem contract start at August, 2007 why I need to find sub-leasing? If I don’t move in at August don’t pick up the key and I don’t pay for the rent what will happen?
Contract is like 30 pages long. Staff there just tell me sign here sign there. They didn’t tell us what is penalty if we late, if we cancel the leasing. After we sign the contract they took my $175 check and tell us we can go now. My other friend his contract suppose start at May. He went to office and tell them he want to cancel it. They let him cancel it for whole summer so far. Not sure about Fall. use logic this doesn’t makes any sense at all. If he just tell them he want to cancel it. They let him cancel it why i cannot?

I love my new apartment but I **** the color of the cream on the walls. its too yellow. uck. Could I just go ahead and paint them if I paint them back at the end?
