Re: Landlord Selling - How much time to move
If you wish to lengthen your stay you may have upto six months after a court order to vacate.
The Landlord first has to serve u a 30 day notice
then take you to court, If you demand trial and lose the judge still has an option to grant you 6 additional months at that time b4 ordering you to leave
If you have a lease the action cannot be commenced until the lease is over.
If you continue rent payments you can continue in possession until the court orders otherwise.
Contact an attorney to negotiate for you if you wish to stay longer than three months.
Good Luck.
