SEC. 2. EFFECT OF FORECLOSURE ON EXISTING TENANCY.

(a) In General.--In the case of any foreclosure on any dwelling or
residential real property, any immediate successor in interest in such
property pursuant to the foreclosure shall assume such interest subject
to--
(1) the provision, by such successor in interest, of a
notice to vacate to any bona fide tenant at least 90 days
before the effective date of such notice; and
(2) the rights of any bona fide tenant, as of the date of
such notice of foreclosure--
(A) under any bona fide lease entered into before
the notice of foreclosure to occupy the premises until
the end of the remaining term of the lease, except that
a successor in interest may terminate a lease effective
on the date of sale of the unit to a purchaser who will
occupy the unit as a primary residence, subject to the
receipt by the tenant of the 90 day notice under
paragraph (1); or
(B) without a lease or with a lease terminable at
will under State law, subject to the receipt by the
tenant of the 90 day notice under subsection (1),
except that nothing under this section shall affect the
requirements for termination of any Federal- or State-
subsidized tenancy or of any State or local law that provides
longer time periods or other additional protections for
tenants.
(b) Bona Fide Lease or Tenancy.--For purposes of this section, a
lease or tenancy shall be considered bona fide only if--
(1) the mortgagor under the contract is not the tenant;
(2) the lease or tenancy was the result of an arms-length
transaction; and
(3) the lease or tenancy requires the receipt of rent that
is not substantially less than fair market rent for the
property.

SEC. 3. EFFECT OF FORECLOSURE ON SECTION 8 TENANCIES.

Paragraph (7) of section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of
1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(7)) is amended--
(1) in subparagraph (C), by inserting before the semicolon
at the end the following: '', and in the case of an owner who
is an immediate successor in interest pursuant to foreclosure--
''(i) during the initial term of the
tenant's lease having the property vacant prior
to sale shall not constitute good cause; and
''(ii) in subsequent lease terms, having
the property vacant prior to sale may
constitute good cause if the property is
unmarketable while occupied, or if such owner
will occupy the unit as a primary residence'';
(2) in subparagraph (E), by striking ''and'' at the end;
(3) by redesignating subparagraph (F) as subparagraph (G);
and
(4) by inserting after subparagraph (E) the following:
''(F) shall provide that in the case of any
foreclosure on any residential real property in which a
recipient of assistance under this subsection resides,
the immediate successor in interest in such property
pursuant to the foreclosure shall assume such interest
subject to the lease between the prior owner and the
tenant and to the housing assistance payments contract
between the prior owner and the public housing agency
for the occupied unit; if a public housing agency is
unable to make payments under the contract to the
immediate successor in interest after foreclosure, due
to action or inaction by the successor in interest,
including the rejection of payments or the failure of
the successor to maintain the unit in compliance with
paragraph (8) or an inability to identify the
successor, the agency may use funds that would have
been used to pay the rental amount on behalf of the
family--
''(i) to pay for utilities that are the
responsibility of the owner under the lease or
applicable law, after taking reasonable steps
to notify the owner that it intends to make
payments to a utility provider in lieu of
payments to the owner, except prior
notification shall not be required in any case
in which the unit will be or has been rendered
uninhabitable due to the termination or threat
of termination of service, in which case the
public housing agency shall notify the owner
within a reasonable time after making such
payment; or
''(ii) for the family's reasonable moving
costs, including security deposit costs;
except that this subparagraph and the provisions
related to foreclosure in subparagraph (C) shall not
affect any State or local law that provides longer time
periods or other additional protections for tenants.''.
Output:
Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 - States that any immediate successor in interest to residential property in foreclosure assumes such interest subject to: (1) giving an existing tenant at least 90-day notice to vacate; and (2) specified rights of such tenant to occupy the premises until the end of the lease.

Amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to require a housing assistance payment contract to provide that in the case of an owner who is an immediate successor in interest pursuant to foreclosure: (1) during the initial term of the lease vacating the property prior to sale shall not constitute other good cause for termination of the lease; but (2) in subsequent lease terms vacating the property prior to sale may constitute good cause if the property is unmarketable while occupied, or if such owner will occupy the unit as a primary residence.

Authorizes: (1) a housing assistance payment contract entered into by the public housing agency and the owner of a dwelling unit to provide that the immediate successor in interest to property in foreclosure in which a housing assistance recipient resides assumes such interest subject to the lease between the prior owner and the tenant, and subject to the housing assistance payments contract between the prior owner and the public housing agency for the occupied unit; and (2) the public housing agency, where the successor owner cannot be identified, to use rental funds to pay for the property's utilities if owed by the owner or for reasonable moving costs, including security deposits.
