Landlord’s lender forecloses and a Certificate of Title is issued on October 1, 2013 to a third party who purchased the shopping center at the foreclosure sale. Tenant was not named in the foreclosure as a defendant and the lease was not terminated. Tenant failed to pay any rent under the lease during the foreclosure. Assume tenant did not pay rent from January, 2013 – September, 2013. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>

Can new owner/landlord send a 3 day notice for the past due rent? The lease does say lessee will attorn to mortgagee. But I don’t think that matters in my example. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>
