Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Is my lease valid?
My lease was renewed from April 2006 to May 2007. The house was sold in July 2006 and because the new LL is trying to evict me, I just found out that he was never given a copy of my current lease. Is this lease still valid?

Yes. The new landlord might offer to buy out your lease, though, since he/she probably bought the place to move in. Consider what's a reasonable offer to compensate you to find another place, the remaining value of your lease, setting up utilities, moving expenses, and negotiate! Good luck!
