Requesting evidence from the landlord that he is selling the property

Dear Sir/Madam,

I agreed with my landlord to vacate his apartment because he wanted to sell the property. He provided me with one year's notice from a notary public.

My current contract ends on June 4th, 2023. However, the one-year notice period expires at the end of November 2023.

I have two questions:

- Can he increase the rent from June 4th, 2023 to November 2023?

- How can I request evidence from the landlord that he is selling the property?

Dear questioner,

He cannot increase the rent during this period.

If he rented the property after eviction, you can file a compensation claim against the landlord, as the landlord cannot rent the property to others, and if he cannot sell the property, he must inform you first.

Dear questioner,

Yes, he can increase the rent as per the RERA index as the contract is expiring on 4th June.

You can request an MOU or a SPA if the sale is done during this period or later.
