in most states, no notice whatever, as the lease is an asset and goes with the
property and the tenant's lease is safe--the tenant will be minimally allowed to
stay till the lease expires.
There is no universal answer to your question. You need to check your local and state laws.
No. If the property is about to be foreclosed, the landlord has no obligation to give the tenant any notice of anything. After the foreclosure, the landlord will have nothing to do with the tenant.
Yes, a landlord can still collect rent on a property with a notice of default. The notice of default relates to the mortgage payments on the property and does not impact the landlord-tenant relationship or the tenant's obligation to pay rent.
The person in the property (the tenant) will have a lease. This is a legal document which sets out how the tenant may be evicted (but can not ignore the federal or state laws that may also apply). This lease is between the tenant and the landlord (whoever the landlord may be) and it will normally specify a period of notice that the landlord MUST give the tenant if the landlord wishes to evict the tenant. So look at the lease and get an attorney if you are worried.
A landlord is generally a person owns property for rent. A tenant is someone who rents property from a landlord.
Yes it is normal for a landlord to have a spare set of keys. However the landlord can not enter the property without the tenant's permission, or serving notice to the tenant of a requirement for access.
The tenant would have to leave after an eviction, which is why a sheriff officer observes the whole process of the tenant removing their possessions out of the property and the landlord changing the locks to the property. If they do not remove their possessions, they generally become your property (under normal conditions).
Not really: a landlord can reclaim their property at the end of a lease-- no material reason needed-- or give notice to a month-to-month tenant (or week-to-week, if applicable).
If the landlord wants to sell the rental property, the tenant has different rights depending on what state the property is in. Usually, a landlord has to give 60 days notice for an intent to sell. Then, it is up to the landlord whether or not the property can be occupied by the tenant until the sale date. If there is a lease, the landlord usually cannot sell the property until the lease is up, but all states have different rules regarding occupancy.
To cut to the chase, yes. When a writ of possession is being served, the Law Enforcement Agency will first post a notice to vacate, which will identify when they will take possession of the property (about a week after the notice.). When they take possession, the landlord or their agent will accompany or meet the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). The LEO will ensure the peace, while the Landlord takes possession, if necessary the LEO will remove the tenant, then usually the landlord changes the locks. If the tenant is home, they will be ordered off the property, and removed if necessary. If they resist they may be jailed. If they return it is trespassing. If the tenant is not home, the landlord usually has a locksmith open the property and change the locks. If the tenant still has stuff on the premises which has not, and cannot immediately be removed, each state has procedures for storing left behind property, giving notice, time limits, and selling, or disposing of abandoned property.
A landlord can only go onto property unannounced to handle an emergency. In Pennsylvania, a landlord needs to give the tenant 24 hours notice to enter a property
The Landlord
No. A lease is a legally binding contract that runs with a property, regardless of who owns the property. Unless there was a provision in the lease that specifically gave the landlord the right to break the lease upon sale of the property, you can compel the landlord and the new owner of the property to honor your lease. If you find that either the previous or new owner of the property is refusing to honor your lease, contact a landlord-tenant law attorney. A listing is available in your local phone book.
