Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure Questions. How will I know if my landlord is in trouble?

Even though Washington DC is one of the most performing Real Estate Markets in the country,like any other major Metropolitian area Real Estate Market,Washington DC has its fair share of houses that are about to go in Foreclosures. So if you are a Washington DC renter who is renting a house in Washington DC that is about to go into foreclosure or think it is about to go into foreclosure because you are not sure,you probably have some questions but don't know where to get answers.

Well this week in my new "Washington DC Renter and Landlord facing Foreclosure Questions" blog, I am going to be posting some questions and answers to those questions that I am sure some Washington DC renters will want to know about.

Q: How will I know if my landlord is in trouble?

Yes! I am doing the happy dance. Why I am doing the happy dance? I got an e-mail from Matt Bowers from Zillow. Here what it said:
