How long can I stay if the owner sells the property after I declined the rent increase?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I started renting a unit in November 2023. The property manager offered a higher rent for renewal, even though the RERA index showed no increase in August 2024. I refused and said I would follow the RERA index. Last week, the property manager informed me that the owner wants to view the unit because he is planning to sell it. I asked for the price, and the manager said 2.5M, while similar units are on sale for 1.5M. I want to understand what the owner is trying to do, what my rights are, and how long I can stay in the unit if the owner sells or cannot sell it.+3
