Jan Brewer signed House Bill 2281 into law, requiring landlords to provide tenants written notice of a pending foreclosure within five business days of the trustee sale. The legislation amends the existing Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Previously, under the statute, landlords were only obligated to notify tenants of a foreclosure if the lease agreement contained a provision stating notification must be given. "This was a bill I introduced in response to the many renters being kicked out of their home because their landlord never paid the mortgage," Rep. Steve Smith wrote on the Maricopa.com webpage. "This was/is a major problem throughout Arizona but especially in our city, so this legislation will require landlords to notify their renters if the home is going into foreclosure." Total Mortgage Services Extends Its Footprint with Opening of Arizona Offic Total Mortgage Services now has its Arizona mortgage banker license and is authorized to originate residential loans in the state. The firm is now licensed in 30 states as well as the District of Columbia. In conjunction with receiving its license, Total Mortgage also opened up its first Arizona branch office, which is located in Phoenix. "Total Mortgage is excited about opening its first branch in Arizona and offering a needed mortgage solution to borrowers looking to purchase or refinance a home," said president John Walsh. "All of our experienced, fullylicensed loan officers are focused on offering borrowers the best possible interest rate and personalized service to help them navigate the biggest financial decision of their life."
