A landlord defaults on mortgage payments for all 95 of his rentals. The bank holding the mortgage is demanding that tenants send rent payments directly to them instead of the landlord.
The landlord refuses to tell tenants exactly what is going on. He does not answer his phone or respond to emails. The landlord wants the tenants to continue to pay him rent. My thoughts are he is trying to get as much rent money as he can, pocket the money and then let his rentals go into foreclosure.
The bank is threatening me with eviction if I do not pay rent directly to them. When I asked the bank if there was a court order for tenants to do so, they said yes but refused to provide a copy of the court order.
