Wait!!! Don't panic!!!
Until and unless you recieve a 30-day notice from your landlord that you need to move (which he can do at any time, even if he was not selling the house), nothing changes.
The only thing that may happen is that you will be receiving 24-hour notices that the home is going to be shown on this day at this time....
Your landlord, agents and potential buyers cannot just come in with out notice. At minimum, your tenant rights guarentee you a 24-hour notice; this may be longer depending on your contract.
If and when the place sells you may receive a 30-day notice to vacate. Here again, your landlord has the right to do so even if he were not selling the house. If you are on a lease (depending on your state's laws) and the sale goes through before the expiration of the lease, the new owners could be bound to the terms of the lease.
If you are really concerned, contact a legal aid clinic or real estate attorney in you area for more specific advice. |

if the house sells.....up to new owners if they want to rent to you or not. if they don't want to rent...you normally have 30 days to vacate the property.
talk to an attorney for exact laws and rules for your town, city, state and county, as they can alter. |

Starting looking for a new place now. By law you will have atleast 30 days to move however, should someone buy it right away they will be entitled to the house. Your best option would be write a letter to your landlord that it is your understanding he selling his house and you will be looking for a new place. However, this may take you a little time. I would also request that he return your deposit as soon as possible because you will need it for a new place. And since this was not your decision to move request he be patient and understanding while you are searching. By put this in writting and sending it to him/her certified (request a signed receipt) you will have this for possible protect later. I would also ask that he submit in writting something showing his intentions and giving you time to move. |

The new owners may be buying the house to live in, not rent out. They should give you 3 months' notice to vacate. |

You have to be ready to move out with 30 days notice and keep it nice and clean for your landlord to show your home to potential buyers. Although if the buyers are buying to have the home as a rental property maybe nothing would change for you. |

Contact an attorney or do some research on contract law in your state.
Normally, a written lease (which is a contract) must survive the sale, meaning that the new owner must abide by the same lease terms that you and the current owner agreed to.
That's the law in Texas and I'm sure in most states, but you need to check the laws in your state. |

Pack your bags for the 30 day notice, or hope the new owner will be looking for tenants to rent and you would be the first candidate. |

You'll either stay there or be evicted. Depending on your state laws, the new owner may have to move in in order to evict you.
You'll have people coming in to view the house; they have to give you 24 hours notice of entry.
It'll be a hassle for a while. |

this is harder than it looks.

Ussually there is a clause in the lease that says that a landlord can give you notice just the same as you can give them notice. It's called a 30 day with cause or without cause termination of the lease. I would suggest going and reading the tennant/landlord laws of wherever you live though. That for sure would tell you. rules vary from state to state. |

Depends on whether you have a written rental agreement and the terms in that agreement. Depends on whether the terms call for month-to-month rent or a lease. The owner is required by law to give you notice to vacate depending on the terms. Or the new owner may be buying the property as an investment meaning the new owner will assume the rental contract and you still live there.
In some states, the law requires 60-days notice to vacate.
The landlord/owner or the real estate agent cannot just show up at your door with a prospective buyer and say, "I want to show the house". He or she has to give you some notice. |

I don't know what state you reside in, but in New Jersey, there is something called "tenant's rights". Your new owner is forced to abide by these rules, and in many cases they cannot change or terminate your lease just because they bought the building. This assumes, of course, that you are paid up and the new owner has no other cause to terminate your lease. For NJ's tenant's rights publication, check out http://www.lsnjlaw.org/english/placeilive/irentmyhome/tenantsrights/index.cfm. |
