You must give the tenant at least a 90-day notice of lease termination after foreclosure. However, if
you do not intend to use the foreclosed property as your primary residence and the tenant has
more than 90 days left on their lease, you must also allow them to stay until their lease ends.

7. What if the tenant doesn’t leave after I give them the lease termination notice under the PTFA?

If the notice of lease termination after foreclosure has been properly done and the tenant has not
left by the time the notice of lease termination after foreclosure ends, you must then give the
tenant a written notice to vacate. See Landlord’s Notice to Vacate Prior to Eviction Instructions.
