I signed a 12-month lease, yet my landlord is selling the property and intends to move in. Can he legally expel me, and which tenant protections apply?
I have experienced a similar situation where the landlord attempted to enter a sale while a lease was active. In my case, the lease was legally binding, and the landlord was required to honor the agreement until its expiration even if the property changed hands. Different states can have variations in the law regarding tenant protections, including eviction scenarios when a new owner takes over. It is crucial to consult local tenant rights organizations or legal professionals to clarify any specific rights you may have before taking any further action.
