Can you legally rent a home to someone knowing your home is in foreclosure

Question: Can you legally rent a home to someone knowing your home is in foreclosure

Answer: -That’s pretty much considered rent skimming, which is illegal. Where you are using the rent money from the rental for personal use and not applying it towards the loan. Maybe you can get away with it if you disclose to the renters that the property is in foreclosure, you’re not planning to make any payments, and they’ll have to move out when the bank forecloses on it. Do a search online for “rent skimming” and you can make your own decision on it. As for me, I’d stay away from it.

I liked how you put together state statues. I have spent much time at a law library looking the law up and you had it all in one place. The cost of your book was cheaper than all the gas I spent and hours of not understanding how to read legal jargen and to make sure the information I was gathering was up to date and accurate. Thanks
