Dear Riverton Tenants,
We understand many of you are concerned about the recent foreclosure notice posted in our buildings. As the Riverton Tenants Association (RTA), we want to ensure you that we are fully aware of the situation and are actively working to protect the rights of all tenants.
What You Need to Know
You cannot be evicted due to foreclosure. Rent-stabilized and rent-controlled tenants are protected by law and have the right to remain in their apartments.
Your lease is still valid. The foreclosure does not change your lease agreement. If you do not have a lease, you still have the right to remain in your home for at least 90 days after a new owner takes
over.
Evictions can only happen through a court process. No one can legally remove you without a court order and a full hearing.
What We Are Doing
Contacting tenant advocacy groups to provide guidance and advocacy resources for all tenants.
Contacting the local city and state officials to ensure tenant protections are enforced throughout this process.
Monitoring the court proceedings and keeping you updated on any developments that could impact us.
Stay Informed & Get Involved
