What to do in case of rental problems?

Questioner

hello, my friend rents a house from a friend, a house he owns, my friend pays rent to his friend who in turn pays the mortgage himself, now my friend suspects that he keeps the money himself and does not pay the mortgage with it... my question is, can they now evict me from the house and how do I find out that he does pay the mortgage..

Lawyer

The tenant can be evicted on the basis of a so-called rental clause, a provision in the mortgage deed on the basis of which the owner is prohibited from renting out the home without the bank's permission. If the arrears are so great that the bank is considering auctioning the home, the bank can evict a tenant on the basis of the rental clause. This is only different if there was already a rental at the time the mortgage was taken out and the bank should have known this.
