LANDLORD/TENANT MATTERS IN NASSAU COUNTY

Here is an interesting dilemma I faced today: Landlord is in default of mortgage and a foreclosure proceeding is instituted against Landlord. What should Tenant do? Pay Landlord or Bank? Landlord, if the property is still in Landlord's name, may institute a non-payment summary proceeding against Ternant if Tenant withholds rent. But if the Bank or foreclosure court notifies Tenant to pay someone else, what does Tenant do? What are Tenant's rights? Well, here are some links (you may have to cut and paste into your browser) to articles that highlight this issue:
