<prompt> Human: So I have been renting an apartment in WA, my landlord has 10 properties that they rent - within our first week, we had a foreclosure notification posted on our door. The landlord, who took 3.5k deposit, said not to worry etc they are just restructuring their loans blah blah.Does anyone have any advice on how best to protect myself and figure out the best way to not get scammed out of more rent when the house next door to us just got soldforeclosed on. Im a little bit worried Ill end up paying her this months rent and then have issues with her not paying her mortgage and then I am out rent, deposit and a place to stay!Thanks!Assistant: Why do you think you would get scammed? You have a lease right? It would carry to the new owner and you would pay them rent. They could not renew of course. If youre month to month you or the owner just need to give notice which is one month most important places. This isnt something you need to panic over. Human: So our 6 month lease is up at the end of this month. Just called our landlord to make sure we could extend it past the end of this month. Hopefully she gets back to me later on today. Thanks for the advice.  <response>: Dont extend your lease... you are here worried about your housing future, so trust your gut. Get your security deposit back and move somewhere else.
