Today, after selling some furniture and jewelry to make the rent this month, I woke up to find a foreclosure notice. The landlord hasn't paid the mortgage in 6 months, so I'm evicted anyway. FML

Oh my gosh, that sucks! Look at the bright side, now you can take him to court and get twice the amout back. Depending on the state rules where you live. FYL indeed!

So you don't have to leave until the new owner makes themselves known. Then if te new owner wants you out, they have to pay to move you. In any state: as the renter you are protected because it isn't your fault the mortgage wasn't paid. Getting a renter out is more difficult than an owner. Call your landlord/tenant hotline for your state to verify your rights.

I'm HOPING this happens to me... I really wanna get out of my lease and move back to Florida a few months sooner.

You DO have legal rights as a tenant. Call your state's bar association for a referral to a local lawyer in your area. > call even if you don't think you can afford an attorney - there are many organizations and law firms set up who will help you for free if you can't afford it.

consult a lawyer. if you have a lease he has to return all your money so you can find a place to live. its fraud
