I am currently residing in a house I have rented for 2.5 years, to which I never had to fill out any paperwork or sign a lease upon moving in. I initially met with the property owners son to discuss the terms of occupancy, but have since paid his mother the monthly rental fee. Just over a week ago, the woman died. Her surviving children have decided to sell the five properties that she owned, including the house I rent. All properties are due to be appraised this Thursday, June 12.
I am curious to know if I have any rights regarding the amount of time allowed before I have to vacate the premises? I do not wish to cause any trouble, but would like to know if I have "a leg to stand on" if approached to move out sooner than I can find a new place to live.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer!
A: It sounds like you are a month to month tenant. If that is the case then you would generally be entitled to 30 days written notice to vacate.
