California Foreclosure tenant protections

What rights does a tenant have after foreclosure in California?

After a foreclosure sale, a month-to-month or periodic tenant must get 90 days' written notice to quit before removal. A tenant with a fixed-term lease signed before the sale keeps the lease to its end, except that 90 days' notice may end it in listed cases (for example, when the buyer will live there).
