We’ve been renting our home for 2.5 years from a property management company. The home is owned by a woman I have only met once.
Today, with no notice from the owner or property management company, there is a “For Sale” sign in my front yard. It was after 5pm when I saw the sign, so there was no way to contact the property management company. Obviously, I’m completely shocked. We still have 6 months on our lease.
This isn’t the first time the owner has done something crazy without telling us. She had our roof redone without telling us and didn’t bother to get any permits, so we lived in a home with no roof for 4 days while that mess got sorted out. She refinanced our home as owner-occupied 6 months after we moved in. (I took down all our family pictures and took a full day off of work to accommodate her.)
Right now, I just want to cry. Legally, what are my options?
Just talked to the property manager, who tells me it looks like she’s trying to short-sell the home to avoid a foreclosure. He made it sound like she’s already received a notice of default. He also said she wants to give me 60-days notice. With our leave being through June ’08, do I have to accept her 60-days?
