Here are your rights in your state...just click on Laws & Statutes and then your state. |

ask to opt out of the lease if not sue the owner! |

The lease transfers with the property to the new landlord and is a valid lease between you and the new landlord all terms are binding upon both parties, Now certain states like NJ have an owner occupied statute that allows canceling of a lease with proper notice if the new owners intended to personally occupied the unit but this law is the minority in the land.
Also as stated above the security deposit transfers with the property to the new owners |

Read your lease. Is there anything in their that stipulates that the owners have the option of selling the property and giving you reasonable notice in the event you will need to move? If you do not understand the legal jargon of the lease take it to a lawyer, he should be able to answer your questions for a reasonable fee. |

First, read your lease for any clause about if the unit is sold.
Second, did the sell the unit with tenant occupancy?
Third, you have to have at least 30 days (I am pretty sure) notice, so you can locate another place and move.
If none of the above, look at your states landlord-tenant statutes... each state is different. |

if you have a legal binding lease that states you have six months left they have to honor it or they do here in south carolina i use to be an apartment manager and when my property was sold things were changed but to those who had a lease that had not run out we had to honor it until the lease was over |

Look over your lease. Most mention something about the "Lessor" selling the building.
Find out if the new owners are going to continue using it as a rental property. |

The buyer takes it subject to your lease. If your lease gives you the absolute right to renew it at a specific price for a specific period, you still have that right with the new owners. However, few leases give that absolute right and I doubt that you have it. So, I would talk with the new owners and find out their intentions. If they intend to keep renting it out, it is not too early to start negotiating a new lease. If they intend to live there, I would start looking for a new place. Keep in mind that this could be an opportunity. If they intend to live there, let them know that you are willing to be bought out of the rest of the lease. If they paid your moving expenses, for instance, you might be willing to leave early. You can also approach the current owner with the same offer. A leased house is harder to sell and the current owner must know that, so let him know that you are willing to move early for the right price. |

unfortunately, you are s. o. l. - your lease is between you and the soon-to-be previous owner and the new owner does not have to honor the lease. |

Depends on the state. In Iowa at time of sale, the new owner can decide to honor tenant rights or to give notice that they are to be canceled. In Iowa you would have at least 30 days. But if he bought it as an investment, most likely they will honor existing leases. If they want the home to live in, you may need to start looking for new home. By the way the security deposit transfers to new owner at closing. |

In California, you stay in your place while making payments to the new owner. who knows, maybe the new owner wants to keep it as a rental.
