How will landlord's foreclosure and 3 day notice to vacate given to tenant affect tenant's credit score

Our landlord has been in foreclosure for six months, and there has been a notice that our rental will be sold at auction within 30 days, but he just file BK. We stopped payment on our rent check to get our security back. He posted a 3day that did not include his phone #. First, in Los Angeles, can we have a UD thrown out because of no phone, and second, we offered to pay further rent but he refused, will this end up on our credit report

Not on your credit unless he gets judgment. Sounds like he will be in Bk shortly, he can still correct the UD deficiencies and come back at you while in BK. You should be able to work something out unless you are both trying to get it all...

If he needs your rent payment in order to keep the payments current while in BK, he is not going to work with you. You are going to be out in a couple months anyway. If he is bluffing, you both may loose.
