No. Even through completion of the foreclosure process, ownership of your home is transferred from you to the highest bidder. This transfer of ownership is not complete until the closing following the foreclosure auction. Once this is over, you will become a tenant in the house you previously owned, and the new owner must follow the necessary legal procedures to evict you
If you are a tenant and the property you rent goes into foreclosure, the new owner must honor the existing lease. However, when you have a month-to-month lease, or when the people occupying the property are the owners who are being foreclosed on, the new owner can evict the tenants or former owners. In these cases, the new owner may either (1) offer the existing tenants a new lease agreement or (2) begin eviction proceedings. If the new owner chooses to evict existing tenants, the new owner must give them at least 90 days’ notice before starting eviction proceedings.
Tenants in some California cities may still have a right to stay in their buildings. Cities with eviction or rent control laws prohibit new owners from using foreclosure as a reason for evicting tenants.
There are other rights that tenants have in eviction cases done after a foreclosure. If a tenant is not named in the complaint for the eviction, he or she may be able to challenge the eviction at any time during the case or even after the judgment for eviction is made.
