- 1). Contact the company that owns the apartment complex or the landlord. Be direct with your questioning. Ask about the financial standing of the complex and if there is any risk of foreclosure. If you're evicted, you may only have a few days to leave the apartment, so the more information you have, the easier it will be to prepare.
- 2). Talk with other renters at the apartment complex. Ask if anyone has heard anything about the company that owns the complex or the landlord being in financial trouble. Evictions don't necessarily happen all at once. If you start seeing your neighbors get evicted, the apartment complex may be in foreclosure.
- 3). Find out the lender for the company that owns the apartment complex or the landlord. If the company or landlord has defaulted on obligations to the lender, the lender may seize the property. In this case, you could be evicted. Contact the lender directly, and ask about your property. If the foreclosure is already in progress, you may be able to get some information about if and when you'll be evicted.
