Short sale is the same as a normal sale. Your rights should be spelled out in your lease or month-to-month rental agreement. If you have a lease, you are entitled to remain until the end of your lease as long as you meet your obligations under said lease.

I am the owner of this house that is at the end of a short sale, what are my rights, and how soon do I have to vacate the house?
