The house i'm renting was sold out from under me, what exactly can i do?
i'm extremely upset. The duplex that i have been living in for 3 years was sold out from under me. we just re-signed a lease with our landlord in December and in March, a lady (who our landlord told us was an insurance lady) came to do a walkthrough of the house. last week, i got a letter from said 'insurance lady' telling me that she had bought our house and gave the address to mail our rent.
i'm under no sort of contract with this new woman, right? the lease that we signed has ours and our old landlord's names on it. what if i were to not pay the rent for this month and just start moving out into a different place? would there be much that she could do at this point since we haven't even really met her?! i mean, there's no piece of paper in exsistence that has our names and her name stating that we owe her any disclosed amount for renting from her. hell, we don't even know when it's due! please help! i need to get out! i could use that money to get a new place!

Nothing the owner has the right to sell her house whenever and to whomever she wants. If you didn't want to move before, why do you want to now? I would contact the current landlord and make sure that the terms of your current lease are still valid, and just continue on like before. Now if she is trying to change the terms and increase the rent then I could understand your having a problem, but as it stands why go through the expense of moving if you don't have to. Now if she is suggesting you move for one reason or another then your lease can be considered broken and they would forfeit the right to any monies owed.

This depends on where you live and what the legislation states. Generally, when the new owner purchased the house, they purchased it tenanted - they have become your new landlord. If they wanted the house vacant so they could move into it, you would have been given notice to move out before it was sold.

They might be content with you staying on as tenants - you should discuss this with them. By telling you the new address for the rent, I would interpret this as saying - we want you to stay.

Failure to pay rent will have a dramamtic effect - the new owners may not be able to afford their mortgage and the banks could sell it out from under them - most upsetting for them.

You as a tenant could be evicted, your name marked in a credit reference database so that you can no longer get credit of ANY sort and you may not be able to find a new place to move into if your references are no good.

I would suggest that you talk with your new landlord - try to become friends and ask them exactly where you stand. If you always oay you rent on time, maintain the property and refrain from noise and disturbance, than the chanches are that they will want you to stay.

You're right, you have no legal obligation with the new landlord, you can move out at any time. The lease transfers with the new owner, they can either agree to let you stay or not. But the contract is not valid in court.

However, if you have a security deposit, best give her a 30 day notice so you can get it back.

nothing you can do but check with an attorney before you do.

when the insurance lady purchased the property, she purchased your lease with it. it "runs with the land" as they say in real estate. so whatever you signed with the previous owner is still in effect, the rent the due date the terms, they are all the same, neither of you can change it until your lease is up. if i were you i would try to contact her and find out what her plans are when your lease is up so you can be prepared.

Any new owner of a rental property inherits the tenant under their lease with the previous owner until that lease runs out.
If she chooses to offer you a new lease, she can.
Good Luck.

The owner does have the right to sell, true. However, if I were you i'd look online under Tenants Rights in your State's laws. I have found myself in several situations over the years in which I had the right to take action against my landlord. YOUr action may be to hit the road and not pay. I donnn't know, but if I were you i'd look into what the law says you can do.
