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.

If you are on a lease, and your landlord sells your property, you cannot be required to move until your lease is over. However, if you are on a month-to-month tenancy, either the new owner or the current owner can evict you with proper notice.

Can landlord sell house that is being rented?
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.

If a parent has lifetime rights to a property can they move anyone else in?
Sure. The unrestricted life tenant can do anything on the property he or she wants to, except perhaps waste or encumber it, for as long as he or she lives. This could include, for example leasing it to someone else entirely. It's as if the life tenant "owns" the property, but only for life.

What right does a tenant have over the landlord when the tenant uses his money to complete work in his rented apartment with verbal authorization from landlord?
that anything you do with the landlord, even if he's a family member, should be done in writing. Verbal agreements are generally not binding in a court of law. If you are living under a verbal agreement with your landlord, then the fact that he is accepting your money for rent is legal binding for your right to stay there. As such, there are rules that he must follow if he wants to increase the rent or change any terms of the agreement between you and him. For example, for an increase of the rent to landlord must give you at least a 30 day notice, if the rent is month-to-month, before the next rent is due, that such rent will increase. Now, to answer your question, a tenant does not have any rights over the landlord regarding work done on the property at his own expense. If you, the tenant, perform certain work on the property with verbal authorization from your landlord, then the best you can do is sue the landlord if he doesn't pay you back. Any home improvements done on rental property cannot be reversed if the tenant later decides to move out. For example, if you, the tenant, decide to install a ceiling fan into your bedroom where there was no ceiling fan in the first place, then the ceiling fan becomes part of the property and you cannot remove it before you move out. If you ever have a gut feeling about your landlord, that it's up to you to protect yourself getting whatever you can in writing.
Can a landlord live in assisted living?
