I signed a one year lease slightly over a month ago. I signed the lease along with the first month and deposit. I was not disclosed the property was in foreclosure. Was this lease legal? Last night I received a notice of entry and there is now a change of ownership with a new landlord. Also, the new property owner presented a notice of entry and notified me that I owe rent for the last days of the month in rent. This rent was already paid in full to the prior landlord. I have no paperwork or proof as of yet that he is actually the new owner. He has already expressed his intentions on raising the rent. My unit is rent control. What are my rights?

I can get a copy of my cancelled check. The new management is saying that the last days of rent are due to them as they are the new owners. Supposedly, in foreclosure it is different that the sale of a property. I have has some legal consulation and have told that asking for the prorated rent is illegal, Online, there are many yes' and no's to the same questions. I am hoping to find some concrete answers.

at the same time as there is not any settlement, you effectively have a month to month settlement. many human beings will argue with this, notwithstanding it really is genuine. that is so at the same time as disputes do get up, the courtroom has some thing to base their judgements off of. notwithstanding, verbal employ agreements are also enforceable. 30 days observe is needed for a month to month employ. I in simple terms study you've been in Canada, so I absolutely do not comprehend. those are the guidelines for the U.S. likely similar.

Can't you get your bank to give you a copy of the cancelled check to prove you paid last month's rent?
