I own a house that is leased until 1/31/10 and I want to move into it. Can I give the tenant a 60 day notice to move?
Most leases have provisions for the owner giving notice if the tenants need to move. Usually it is 30 to 60 days and is written. Of course, it is more convenient to just not renew the lease. It may be cheaper and easier for you to move into an apartment in the interim and let the lease run its course.
a landlord may not EVER break/violate a lease. [unless the tenant wishes it so]
Yes. Foreclosed property should have no impact on tenants, especially if they have a lease.
Yes, but only if the lease permits it or when the lease expires. There is a presumption that a purchaser of rental property will know the terms and conditions of every lease for current tenants.
No lease? You would tell your tenants that you plan to sell. You would give them 30 or 60 days to move. You can't sell the house next Wednesday and expect them to be out by Friday. The tenants have legal rights to have a fair amonut of time to move.
Normally landlords don't force their tenants to move simply because they are selling the property. The landlord has the right to ask you to move at any time with the proper notice given, UNLESS you are in a lease. When the lease expires it could be renewed or terminated.
No.
It's best to discuss this with the realtor or a lawyer, but the usual protocol is an agreement at the time you purchase the home and sign the papers. If you have signed nothing to indicate the tenants stay on, then you have to give them sufficient notice to find another rental place to live. Once you buy the house and property it's yours to do with as you choose, but read that fine print and be sure you didn't sign anything pertaining to the tenants staying on at your new home.
If you paid your rent late, he didn't break the lease - you did. He can now move to terminate the lease.
the lease will have to be honoured, if the tenants do not get along, then it could be broken by paying a penalty for the remainder of the lease when one or both move, if the lease is a month- to- month then a 2 month written letter must be signed by both parties to notify the landlord.
If you signed the lease, then no. No matter where you move no one can guarentee your safety. I would have toured the property before signing the paper work.
You should consult with the landlord/leasing company to see what is offered to prospective tenants and what is required from vacating tenants at each property.
