I'd talk to your property manager - having a house on the market is a PIA, an inconvenience for you having to deal with the distruption. I would be trying to negotiate a reduced rent for the period of inspections/sale at the very least. TBH I think if you have the house set up well it is easier to sell it when there are people living in it - a house that is empty can look smaller than it is. Perhaps ring the rental tribunal in your state too - I am not sure but you may be able to vacate with less notice if the house is to be sold anyway. Have they issued you with any official notices, they need to as formal notice - check bc they may be trying to have their cake and eat it too IYKWIM.
From my experience renters often have more rights than they are aware of. Good luck.
I think the law is they have to give you 2 months notice to vacate. I'm going by what people I know have been given when they've had to leave a rental.
I'd have a word with the real estate if you want to take that place and see what they say. Otherwise wait and see. And the other thing is if they do ask you to vacate they can't kick you out til you find a place. They'll give you the 2 months and expect you to find something in that time.
well, we've looked at that place. It's what we're after. Going to put in the application shortly. Our current landlord said he'd see what he could work out with the owners if we do find somewhere.
Now to find a pen, fill out the application and take it in. Hope for the best!
Best of luck hun. There's no way you'd need to be out of the place you're in before the contract is up - as Mel said, settlement will be at least 30 days. However rentals are scarce around our area at the moment so I wouldn't miss the opportunity to take a place that you like now. Hopefully the landlords will do the right thing by you so it won't be too much of a finiancial burden.
That's what we're hoping MR. Real estate said he doesn't want us to paying double rent, and if it came down to that he'll talk to the owners. Then he asked if I was busy tomorrow around 10
as he's showing a prospective buyer thru. Seeing that's hAppening already, we looked at the other place and putin our application. Apparently Monday at the latest we'll know. Not 10 mins after submitting it, I turned up at fil's and he's already had a call from then ( he was our previous landlord).
