I've had to leave a rental residence twice now in under 30 days because the owner wanted to sell instead of renew a lease and didn't bother telling us until just about the legal limit. It sucks, it'd be much better to have 2 months, but as a person with some dignity I recognize I don't own the property and I'm no longer welcome after 30 days. Sure I could be an asshole and fight the eviction out in courts as they worried Jack could do (with some weird incomplete post-sell-date form with the original owners) but no. In the story he had 2 months already, according to the original owners, and to make things worse no rent was being collected. Struggling with life doesn't give you a free pass to be an asshole, we all have our struggles, so if you've had legal notice, which is designed to take away the threat of immediate homelessness by giving time to find a new place, GTFO.
- michaelmrose 9y agoI'm pretty sure 30 days is the minimum you are required to give in virtually any circumstance but these laws do vary by state. We really need a semi official landlord rating website where you can expect to see ratings for landlords. A landlord shouldn't be able to get a second set of decent tenants at market rate 10 years after he screws over the first. To be clear yelp for landlords with less of an extortion angle.
