You think my Landlord is telling the truth?
We are renting but our landlord put the house up for sale. She said we can continue to live here but she needs us to let the Realtors bring people in to view the house. Our Landlord SAID for the inconveinence, she'd give us a thousand dollars when the house sells PLUS she'll give us back our full deposit.

A landlord telling the truth? LOL!


nite_angelica
Ask for it in writing - never just take someone's word in business. She shouldn't be offended by the request.

However... she doesn't have to do more than notify you guys, so she's probably telling the truth.

sounds nice, but ask for it in writing. Tell her you will also need 24 hrs notice before she brings over prospective buyers.

Since she has the right to show the property with or without your permission....I think she's being more than generous with her proposal. Just make sure you get everything in writing.

Read your lease and see if it mentions letting the landlord have access to the property with notice. I would request some notice so you can be out when it gets shown.

I would get it in writing and show up the day of settlement to get your money. Better yet, I would put a lien on the property, done at the court house.

just trust that she will follow through with her promises. She dose not have to give you anything but at least 24hrs notice for a viewing though.

I would give her your best because if she follows through it will be great fro you and If the news owners find out that you are accommodating then there is a less chance that they wqill evict you when they move in.

I'm not sure why she'd be lying.

Utlimately it's her property and she probably has a set of keys. Your rental agreement may even have a clause about reasonable access; even without one she could just evict you anyway if you failed to co-operate with the sale so I'm not sure what you'd have to gain by doing so, or why she has any need to lie to you.

I'd be inclined to make sure you have some agreement in place about how much notice you'll get and what she's expecting to get in return for the money, but it may simply be an incentive for not obstructing the sale and if she's expecting to get a lot of money for the property it's probably small fish.

Could go either way.

If it is being bought as an investment property, then yes. If it isn't then you may find yourslef on the street, 'cause the new owner could be planning to return it to being a single family dwelling (or turn it into Condos)...

As for allowing people in to view the suites...I don't know. I know that here, where I live, if I don't want some one in my suite, they can't enter lest they face criminal charges...and that includes the building owner and the caretaker. Unless there is a legitimate emergency. (i.e.: my pipes broke or the suite is on fire, etc.), or I've been given 24 hours WRITTEN notice or 7 DAYS verbal notice for legitimate reasons.

Consult with a Property Lawyer...and your local Renter's Board.

Good Luck!

I would get it in writing - signed and dated.

Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is. I can see her giving the deposit back (she doesn't need it to fix the house) but I cannot see her losing money to sell the house.


Sabrina
Tell her that you would prefer to not pay rent until the thousand dollars and the deposit is used up or either ask for it in writing.


sylviavnpttn
Sounds very generous f her, however I would have everything she offers in writing.

Get it in writing, signed in front of WITNESSES other than personal friends of HERS.


tskelton155
Get it in writting...it will be a valid agrement and if she backs out you can sue for the deposit/money and more.

Lying through her teeth if you ask me.


justanswerme
Ask your landlord if the house is being sold as an investment property and if any one buys it will you still be able to live there? If she says yes then you need to get it in writing. If the answer is no then you need to ask her what will happen to your lease and ask her to put in writing that she is giving you a 30 days notice. You need to get every conversation you have in writing.

Has she been a good landlord and responded to any problems that might house arose while you are living there she might be a one of the rare people and sincerly care about her tenants.


Pam H
Could be telling the truth. Better be prepared to move. When it sells you will probably only have 30-60 days to get out. Be nice and let them show the place. Hopefully she will be good to her word.

if she is telling u the truth she w ill not mind putting it on paper ask her 4 somethig in writing that way u will find out the truth 4 sure if she says it offends her she is a liar

Yes this is truth, put you need to get the in written, also ask her if you move before the house is sold will you get your full deposit. and if you don't move before the house is sold will the new buyer let you stay.


Reality Check!!
The thing is if you signed a contract... say a 1 year lease, then she has to hold you to it, or you can sue.... She can't make you move out, the ball's really in your court until the lease is up anyway.... That's why she is offering you that... cause legally, you have a lease.

Get it in writing and notorized.

If you get that done, it's binding. You could take her to court if she doesn't give you the money.


Ashley D
No, I wouldn't believe her. She's clearly lying to you. For me, it wouldn't be worth the hassle of having people come in and out of my house. Tell her NO.
