Chris | Landlord selling house. For sale sign in front yard. 6 months left on fixed term lease. What rights do I have? |
I have a fixed term lease on a house in Long Beach, California. 6 months left on the lease. Out of the blue, landlord is attemping to sell the house ASAP (we have never missed a payment or anything). He has already listed it with a real estate agency, and Agents / prospective buyers are coming by daily with or without our permission, even if we are not home (realtor was given a key without our knowledge). There is now a big, annoying For Sale sign in the front lawn, including a hole in the lawn that it is placed in. What are my rights? FInding suitable housing in Long Beach during the school year is nearly impossible. |

Hi,
I'm a broker in Orange County and I also manage property.
In California, the new owner has to honor the lease. So you'll be there for the remainder of the lease term unless you want them to pay you to leave. So don't worry about that.
Regarding the intrusion, they have to legally give you 24 hours notice unless you agree to allow them to see the property.
Contact me via e-mail and I'll see how the property is listed on the MLS to make sure it's listed as an investment property. Also, I can go over your lease to see what rights you gave up.
Also, I advise you to record your lease with the county clerk so that when the buyer pulls title, they know that you're leasing the place.
Regards |

If you signed a contract than contract must be upheld. Was there anything in the contract stating owner can sell before said contract is up?Did you do any thing to breach contract?If not than the buyer will probably honor the fact that you are in there for the remainder of the sellers contract. |

as stated above, the new buyers of the house will have to honor your lease until the end of the lease term
As toward showing your house, first the owner should give you notice for showing the house, once notice is given they can give a verbal notice on when they want to show,
but many times showing is only limited to Monday through Friday 9 to 5 no weekends, next time make a fuss, or better yet if they keep it up leave some dirty dishes in sink, leave some clothes on floor, maybe boxes in hall way get the picture |

In this situation, you have no rights. The owners have the right to sell their property whenever they chose to. Also they don't have to ask for your permission to show the property. They are only required to notify you 12 hours in advance whether you are there or not. The people who think its 24 or 48 hrs are wrong.
Sounds to me like you think since you rent a home that you can control what the owners want to do. The attitude you take in regards to the realtor having a key is very suprising. The owners don't have to tell you everything like who has keys.
All you can do is wait and see if the new owner(s) are going to want to live there. If they don't, as a far as you are concerned the only thing that changes is where to send the rent. However, if the new owners want to live there, ie terms of financing, you will have to move. Their decision to live in their new home supercedes your lease. |

Renters Rights differ from state to state. In most states, the landlord must provide written notice that your lease will not be renewed. Depending upon your state, that notice may be anywhere from 30 days to 90 days. Take a close look at your lease and read the section on lease termination/renewal. Also, check the internet for Renters Rights in CA. Most questions can be anwered by the website. |

Pull up your Landlord/tenant act for the state of California. He has rules he HAS to follow, which include a 30 day written notice to you, as well as a refund plus moving expenses to you if he sells the house. He also does not have the authority/right to have people in your home when you are not present or if you have not signed a waiver. If he doesn't abide by those rules--take him to small claims court, most county courts only cost $25-45 to file, and then you can also include punitive damages, attorney's fees etc. Don't let someone get away with anything--get informed about the rules of your county, and don''t let them walk on you! Hope that helps! |

Read your lease! Unless it gives the owner the right to cancel your lease under certain circumstances (such as if the house is sold), then any sale must be made subject to the lease. In other words, the new owner must honor your lease for the remaining term.
That doesn't mean that the current landlord or the new owner won't try to find some reason to evict you. Just make sure your read your lease and make sure you honor your obligations under the lease. Also, make sure keep proof of your rent payments being made on time and for the full amount that's due (for instance, don't pay in cash). |

Check local laws. The agent usually has to give 24 to 48 Hrs notice. If it is sold the lease runs with the bldg. except if the new owner wants to live there or wants to put a family member in there. There is always a flurry of activity on the market once a house is listed.
Remember, it is not your house and the owner can sell it without notifing you or asking your permission.
Why rent when you can buy? Why not buy it yourself? |

They do not have the right to go into your apartment without your permission.
It is YOUR home, even if they own it. That is what the lease protects you against.
Put up a fight. I had to do this several years ago. I made life HELL for that bitchy real estate agent. She called me up and cursed me out one day because I said, "No. You can not come over right now. You are legally obligated to give me 24 hours notice, not 3 hours." She went on about how if I agree to her terms the house gets sold faster and therefore less annoyance to me. I would not give in. 24 hours notice. One day she came in with a group of 20 people while I was in the shower! I came out in a bath towel, SURPRISE! I had a fit and kicked everyone out. None of them bought the place. I hated when people would touch my stuff as they walked by. Felt like I was on exhibit at a petting zoo. I'm not for sale, I'd tell them, just the walls and floors, which are falling apart. That pissed her off.
Anyway. Do not let them push you, or you push right back. The house is YOURS until your lease is up. |

Well...here is the deal...the landlord can do that sort of thing but if someone were to buy the house say tomorrow then they have to allow you to remain thru the end of your lease agreement. It is a contract the current owner entered into and it is binding. I would call the reality company and tell them the situation and explain to them that some sort of notice (ie phone call) to you at least an hour in advance. If they do not want to do it you might let them know that it would be in their best interest so you can make sure the house is clean/tidy before they arrive...otherwise leave the sink full of dirty dishes for a few days and don't take out your trash...they will get the hint. It worked for me in the same type situation....good luck! |
