Initially, we note that in Surratt v. Real Estate Exchange, 76 A.2d at 588, cited in Simpson, this court stated that it was “obvious” that persons who had been renting from a defaulting mortgagor were in a different situation from the mortgagor himself for purposes of statutory eviction controls. Surratt involved basically the same fact situation as in Simpson and the court came to the same conclusion. However, the court was careful to distinguish several cases that had held that eviction controls similar to those in § 45-1561 were applicable in an action by a post-foreclosure purchaser to obtain possession from tenants of the defaulting mortgagor. See, e.g., Long Branch Banking Co. v. How-land, 133 N.J.Eq. 315, 32 A.2d 860 (N.J.Ch.1943) (eviction restrictions apply even though technically there was no landlord-tenant relationship between post-foreclosure purchaser and tenant of former owner).
