He was just informed today that he has to move into a two bedroom apartment to make room for a new tennant. My brother has lived in the same apartment for over a year and a half. Is this legal?

YOur brother needs to have an experienced Landlord /Tenant law Attorney review his lease.

This is critical to reviewing the situation and the question cannot be answered without such a review.

Also- is he in breach ? ( Behind on rent or violating lease policies?)

Was adequate and proper NOTICE given?

I have 35 years of Landlord / Tenant law experience.

Have him call or email for assistance.
