Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: Renters In a house that is being Sold

The law is complicated, and I would strongly recommend that you speak with an attorney in your area.

Just a few general points:

1. The landlord does not have the right to barge into your apartment without prior notice;

2. The landlord cannot unilaterally evict you - only a judge can do that.

Re: Renters In a house that is being Sold

A Landlord cannot unilaterally evict you. They have to give you at least a 30 day notice even on a month to month lease.

Neither the Landlord nor his real estate agent has the right to enter the premises without your permission and giving you at least 24 hours notice. Moreover, the landlord should give you notice of their intention to sell the property.

I would contact an attorney in your area who handles landlord tenant matters and seek assistance.

Re: Renters In a house that is being Sold

Sale of the house alone does not terminate your tenancy. Neither the landlord nor their realtor or agent can enter without advance notice and your permission.

You would have to be sent a proper 30 day notice to quit and be evicted by a court which you could resist by retaining an attorney to raise any and all defenses you may have. Good Luck!
