Asking a tenant to evict an apartment because it is sold
Hello,
I had taken an apartment for rent expecting to live there for 4-5 years. Considering it, I had spent a lot of money on moving in arrangements for the apartment.
After 3 months of moving in, the owner said he sold the property to someone else. Then the new landlord comes and shared all details of the takeover, and sent me a legal notice to evict the property exactly one year later because the new landlord is coming to stay there.
What can be done to protect the situation? As I know this is quite within the legal grounds, so cannot complain, right?
But in the future, how can I protect my situation? Maybe by a multiple-year contract? Is it valid? What can I do to protect my existing situation, etc?
Could you please help?
Dear questioner,
Depending on your rental contract and its duration, the new owner cannot evict you, unless he pays you back the remaining months in addition to an indemnity.
You can for sure file a lawsuit against both of them.
