If the landlord does not pay his or her mortgage and the lender wants to repossess the property, does the tenant have any rights ?
If the tenancy agreement was entered into after the date of the mortgage the tenant will have no right to stay in the property if the lender applies for a repossession order from the court. This may be different if the lender has done something to recognise the tenancy.
If the tenancy agreement was entered into before the date of the mortgage the tenant may have what is called an "overriding interest" as against the lender.
Can a landlord or tenant take action against a trespasser ?
