This is crazy & sad to see but not surprising!

I am also surprised Detroit is not on the list

It should be no surprise to people. 

Recommend:1) Speaking with a landlord-tenant attorney about your options2) Keeping an eye on the property -> ask your old neighbors to do so if you are too far away.3) Try to do a surprise visit to catch who else may be staying there.

So, to no surprise, CA is doing exactly none of your private property taking schemes John. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/01/13/governor-newsom-proposes-b...CA is doing the only viable option they have, fast tracking reconstruction of what was.

I'm frankly surprised by the responses! 

I would be surprised if there weren't notices given to both the defaulting End Buyer (You're in default, you must close by X date or we're forfeiting your deposit) as well as the escrow agent (Buyer defaulted, see contract Earnest Money paragraph regarding release) prior to that actually occurring.

It's best they be honest with their current landlord so he's not caught by surprise.
