Re: Rental house being sold

Since you are renting real estate, there should be a written lease. Without one you are considered a month-to-month tenant, so you can be evicted upon 30-days (calendar month) notice. Not having read the contract of sake, I do not know what representations or statements were made about tenants, so you should inquire. If the new owner intends to continue your lease, you should get something in writing. If the new owner intends to occupy the house, this gets more complicated for you.
