Re: Landlord selling bldg.No relocation offered. 90 day evic

The party with the lease MUST read the terms of his contract.
Typically, leases wll provide that if the property owner
sells the property, the landlord must give X days' notice to
vacate.

If there are NO provisions in the lease that deal with a sale
of the property by the owner, and while laws on this vary from
state to state, the lease is enforceable against the new owner
as a breach of contract.

Again, the terms of the lease control. Your neighbor MUST
find and read his lease very carefully. Look for a section
that discusses termination of the lease by either contracting
party.
