My landlord is selling the house we’ve been renting for 20 years. They’re only giving us 2 months to move and we have no where to go
Hey Alicia, that sounds like a tough situation. In California, if you've lived in a rental for over a year, landlords usually should give at least 60 days’ notice to vacate. Here are some points to consider:
- Check your lease agreement for any specific terms about termination.
- Consider negotiating with your landlord for more time.
- Look into local tenant protection laws for additional rights.
