Currently renting house about to be sold (not given in writing) Should I still pay rent? Do I have any rights?
It's a family members property. No lease in effect, just a letter given at beginning of rental 2 years ago.

It's a family members property. No lease in effect, just a letter given at beginning of rental 2 years ago. I was doing them a favor - person elderly didn't want to rent to a stranger.

It depends partly on what state you are in. Most states require any contract having to do with real estate to be in writing. If that is the case ( which it probably is) then you have few rights. Some states will accept the letter and you being there as evidence you have a month-to-month rental agreement. In any case you would have to be given 30 days notice to move in most jurisdictions.

That said, I wouldn't assume anything. Contact your relative, and if possible the new owner. Find out what the intentions are of the owner. I assume they inspected the property so they know someone is living there. Are they expecting to move in? They might be looking for a rental, if so you could be their new tenant.

IF THEY ARE MOVING IN: You can maybe delay it for 30 days, but you'll be going. Start looking for another place.

IF IT IS FOR A RENTAL: They will offer you terms for a rental. You will be able to agree to the terms, of if they're too high, have 30 days (normally) to move out.

Either way, don't just worry about it, ask questions right now.

Good luck

Yes you should still pay rent - you are living there, aren't you? And no, you don't really have any rights beyond maybe 30 days notice to move.


bostonianinmo
You must continue to pay rent as agreed until the new owner directs otherwise. If they are going to keep it as an investment property you may be able to stay. If not, they'll give you 30 days notice to quit.

no, you don't.
you don't own it, the best thing you can hope for is that your current landlord will give you sufficient time to move out and find a new place to live!


gavmel259
Well if there wasn't a contract signed at the beginning of the tennancy to state the period of stay, then there is nothing that you can do about it.

The only thing I would expect in this situation is enough notice to be able to find alternate accomodation, and time to clear current accomodation.

yes you do have rights if you are in the UK a proper procedure as to be undertaken the new owners cannot just throw you out. it does not matter if no agreement in writing as COMMON LAW will apply in this situation.
The correct forms have to used that the courts issue and must be filled in in every detail the new owners have to give you formal notice to quit and not just a letter or note otherwise the notice to quit is not legal. I f you do recieve notice to quit
see a solicitor straight away
the answer above this one is wrong that is not correct 30 day rule does apply that must be the yanks way of doing things
you can tell straight away it would if it did apply be 28 days in the UK THE ENGLISH LIKE THE MONTHS IN 28 DAY PORTIONS

IT TAKES MONTHS OR YEARS TO GET SQUATTERS OUT SO HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE FOR A SITTING TENANT BTW CARRY ON PAYING THE RENT FOR THE TIME BEING


sarah W
you have rights but so do the people buying the house if you know its going to happen plan accordingly. The house we just bought the girl was given verbal notification (since it was a friendly arrangment with the prior owner) well now shes decided she doesnt want to move this month we had to serve her with written push our move back day by a month and in our tiny apt we're up to our eye balls in college students that were going to rent rooms in the house


domino_wizzard
Your right to stay there is only as long as you have paid for. Either you or the landlord can call it quits at any time there after. In Texas, it usually takes about 90 days to evict a tenant who is determined to stay. I would be doing some serious house and apartment looking. You are going to have to move anyway; better to do so without a family war.

If you have no lease your landlord/family member is obligated only to give notice as per local law, 30 - 60 days depending on your area. If the house is sold and the new owner wants to continue to rent to you, they are under no obligation to honor the current rent or anything for that matter.

Sounds to me like there is some bad blood between you and the owner. How about sitting down with them and finding out where you stand? Withholding rent won't do anything other than create further bad blood.

I think you need to speak with the owner of this property as you could be left high and dry with nowhere to live if you dont get things organised quickly. I think they should give you sufficient notice to vacate but obviously it is going to be quite an upheaval so be prepared for a move. I think you need to have this serious discussion - it's your future after all.

yes, you have rights -- they differ from state to state. usually w/out a lease is considered month to month so 30 days notice. however, you have been renting for 2 yrs so a different rule could apply. but if your family was doing you a favor by renting to you......well then..........& yes, as long as you are a tenant you pay for the privledge to stay there.
