A signed lease is a legally-binding document.  

This is not specific legal advice, just my opinion based on estate planning/asset protection background.  

I would definitely find out your options based on local laws, and then try for an eviction.

...if you have hundreds of thousands or millions in reserve, it might not be an issue  ...but if you only have a few thousand, it will be a major problem.Now, having said all that, there definitely are scenarios where a structural issue is an easy, relatively cheap fix. ...and, there are some examples of settlement that can be ignored--for instance, minor settlement on a 100 year old house is fairly common, and might not affect the structural integrity of the house.But, again (assuming that you're not a structural engineer), you don't know what you don't know--it could be five hundred bucks and a weekend of work, or it could be a hundred thousand dollars, a year of your life, eight months of vacancy, and ultimately bankruptcy. 

To be notified of foreclosure auctions you need to: 1. get your local legal paper, the newspaper that publicizes them 2.
