  1. Your landlord should have given you that 30 days when he knew the house was sold. It takes time to have a closing and on the day of closing the new owners can start charging you rent. You know it's sold and although a written notice should have been given use the 30 days and get out of there. If you end up in court you'll be the one paying the court cost


  2. Basically, an oral eviction notice is worth the paper it's written on. Not enforceable.

    Let's face it though. If the new owner wants you to leave you're going to have to leave. Fighting it is only going to delay the inevitable and will make things harder on both of you. Your chances of losing your deposit go up dramatically too.

  3. No, even if it is writen in the lease in big bold letters it is still not legal notice.

    You need it in writing.  Make sure you continue to pay rent.

  4. LOL. They can orally evict you all day long. But it doesnt mean a thing. They must either mail it or post it on your door. And even then it can take up to 6 months for them to remove you. You could actually live there for that long for free and they couldnt do a d**n thing about it.

  5. Unless your lease says otherwise, your outta there.

  6. All real estate notices must be given in writing.

  7. No in most cases if your paying your rent on a month to month bases he has the right to ask that to leave within 30 days in writing, unless you have a lease then he can't put you out until the end of your lease.If you don't leave at such time as I stated, lease or no lease he'll have to take the matter to court to have you evicted which takes time.

  8. No it has to be written.

  9. Not if you have a written lease agreement.

  10. No, must be written.

  11. No, everything in real estate has to be in writing. no exceptions.

  12. First off, the Landlord did not sell " your  " home. He sold a investment piece of property. You better get packing. He had the right to sell anytime. Problem is when a rented house is for sale ( Most of the time ) and it is occupied, the renter wants to stay and spoils the sale for the owner. He is stuck so finds himself not giving the renters the courtesy of fore warning.  The new owners are not your Landlord. They just are new owners and it is there house to see fit whatever they want. If they bought the place to live in, it is there house.

  13. nope!

    many of them seem to think that they can but no.

    NO EXCEPTIONS
