Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania
Landlord showing rental house after he told us it was off the market
We just moved to PA from TN and
are renting a house which we have a
lease agreement on. When we took
the house we were told the house
was off the market and we signed a
12 month lease which states nothing
about the sale of the property. Now
he is showing the house and telling
us sorry. What leg do we have to
stand on if the house gets sold?

Re: Landlord showing rental house after he told us it was off the market
A lease acts as encumbrance to the property. That is if house is sold its sold subject to the lease. Unless there is something in the lease to the contrary the new owner gets you as a tenant.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
