He lived in one of them and rented the other to me and my family. My father and I had a written two-year lease and I paid him a reasonable rent, with canceled checks to prove it. Unfortunately, my father lost both homes to foreclosure last fall. In December, a real estate agent came to my door to tell me I had to leave. When I told her I had a lease, she handed me a three-day notice to quit the premises. There was no way we could leave that quickly, and a friend told me the bank that took the house had to honor my lease. Now I have been served with a summons and complaint for unlawful detainer. I have filed an answer stating that I have a valid lease, but I am wondering whether I will win this case. What is your opinion?
