If the person who owns your house decided to sell it tomorrow, how much protection do you have? Here in the UK, I have effectively none.
- apexalpha 7y agoI cant speak for the person yoh replied to but in NL it's almost impossible to evict someone.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoInteresting. Over here, if the owner decides to sell, it is almost impossible to not be evicted.
- sgc 7y agoIn general there are renters rights and the lease contract survives a sale. When you buy a property you need to look at contracts in place and whether they are incompatible with your desired use.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoAs far as I am aware, if you are in an assured shorthold tenancy, as the majority of rented homes are in the UK, your new landlord can serve a court order under section 21 for a no-fault eviction. On the other hand, if you are renting commercial property for a business and have negotiated a lease, then the lease contract holds.
- sgc 7y agoIn this context I was explaining the US system for many or most States. In California for example, a residential lease by statute survives a sale.
- Spooky23 7y agoThe standard form leases in my area allow the landlord to terminate upon conveyance to another party.
- sgc 7y agoI am in California, not at all possible.
