Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

You owe rent until it is sold. After it is sold it will depend on what the new owner wants to do. At a minimum, however, they must give you 90 days notice to move. This is true even if you are on a month-to-month rental. Also, if you have a lease with your current landlord, they must give you until the end of the lease OR 90 days, whichever is longer. You will, however, have to comply with the terms of your existing rental agreement as if it had been assigned to the new owner, including continuing to pay rent when due. They may also offer you "cash for keys" to move out sooner. You are free to accept or not accept their offer, or negotiate a better one. If the buyer is an investor looking to pick up rental property, they may be happy to let you stay.
