Can the new owner of the rental property I live in kick me out?

The rental property that I'm living in now was sold to a new owner. The new owner wants to kick me out, remodel the unit, and re-rent the unit for a higher price. Is that legal?

1. Get a copy of your lease 2. Ask legal - self help at the local court house 3. Ca. is very tenant friendly, generally they need to give you 60 days and they may need to pay relocation costs. 4. look for housing asap it can take months, good luck!

Good Morning, Lots of questions on this scenario. Did you have a lease with the prior owner? Was the lease transferred to the new owner? Have you signed a new lease with the new owner? How long have you lived in the property? You need to review your lease and have a nice talk with the new owner. There is a website for renters and their rights. I would educate myself. Yes its very legal

The short answer is yes but are certain legal protections that renters have. Your lease is your first line of protection. Depending on the type of property, its age and local laws you may have additional protections.

What does your lease read? Usually a 30 day notice is required for any changes if you are on a month-to-month, otherwise, I believe the lease in place must be honored. However, the landlord could make an offer to buy you out.

  • If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?

    I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
