Re: a new landlord

So long as your apartment is a legal rental in the two family house, the landlord cannot remove you prior to the expiration of your lease except for cause. There may be factors here which I am not aware of, so feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss this further.

Kind regards,

Your lease is a contract that should survive the transfer.

Have him buy you out if you would like to move earlier.

Good Luck
