My landlord put the house I rent on the market. How long do I have before i have to move?

Profile picture for DanielStevanovik
My landlord just approached me and told me he is selling the house I'm renting from him. This is only after 2 months I've been at this location. I know that he has to give me a 30 day notice, but I am not sure if I can possibly have longer than that. Can you please explain to me me how this process works. Thank you.

Review your lease in detail.  You have rights and need to know them.  You should see in the lease a time frame in this situation.

I would view your states tenant laws with an attorney.  All states are different, but tenants have rights. Sometimes more than the landlords! Typically if you have a lease, that lease must be honored until the end.  So if he sells the property, the new owner would have to agree to become your landlord.

Did you sign a lease?  Where are located?  Check your lease and also check with an attorney.  Most leases state that a lockbox can be placed on the property the last ___ days of the lease (normally 30-60 days).  Also if you signed a lease the new owner (again check with an attorney) should have to honor the current lease - current rate and all.

As long as you have a lease you have several rights, especially regarding showings and people being in your home.  Without one I am not sure what rights you would have.  Good luck...I can not stress enough, check with an attorney (we are Realtors not attorneys!)
