What can I do if the landlord evicted me to sell the apartment and rented it for a higher price?
Q: I was given a legal notice to evict my apartment by the landlord because he wants to sell the apartment but no one has come to see the apartment once in 10 months. I found out that the landlord has multiple units in the same building and gave a similar notice to all. In some cases, he renewed the lease for another year after increasing the 35 to 40 percent rent and in some cases, he rented out after 3 months. My question is if a tenant got evicted and then offered first refusal to move back in then what is the point? The tenant has already moved to a new apartment and can`t accept the offer to move back. This will allow the landlord to rent out again at a higher price. Please advise
