Re: new landlord
Hi,
Good question. This is a contracts case. What does the written agreement say? If you have the right to renew for 5 more years, you do. Maybe you can sell that right. That also depends on the contract. You should hire a lawyer to review the contract and advise you of your requirements, rights and opportunities. I can't say which legal time deadlines apply to your situation.
Best wishes,
