He has already told one of the tenants that he plans on giving everyone 6 months. I myself have lived in this apartment for 24 years, so I am having a tough time accepting that I won't wake up here pretty soon. Does the landlord have to pay any restitution for forcing people to move? Please help

Most likely, the landlord will be able to tear it down, with no restitution. But, there are sometimes special circumstances where he wouldn't be able to. I would check with City Hall.

If anyone had signed a lease "with an option to buy" it would be different but, with just a lease..not too likely. Read your lease again and check the penalty clauses for non-performance. Try calling the city or county where you live for thelandlord/tenant relations department and see if they can help you meditate the problem. Perhaps if enough of you get together there may be a purchase that can be arranged? Good luck and not all change is bad! perhaps there may be a new twist to your life that may be incredibly wonderful!

6 months is more than he has to let you have by law. You should be thankful he even gave the tenants that long. In most states it is just a 30 day notice to vacate. Bottom line is it is his property he can do what ever he wants with it. Tough to hear but sometimes the truth isnt always pretty.

It depends on a number of factors. Do you live in a historical building? Do you live in city where renters have rights?? Do you rent month to month or have a contract. The bottom line is you can try to fight it but the building does belong to the landlord and he is within his rights to do with the building as he pleases. He is not required to compensate you anything, but you might think about asking him for some lee-weight on the rent for the last few months so that you can get your resources together to relocate. You need to check with your city council or the housing center most applicable to your situation and see what you can do. It is going to be very difficult no matter which way it goes...hope the best for you.

I even have 2 condo residences and have a aspects supervisor. on each occasion somebody strikes out, she does an entire inventory of the condition of the valuables and makes concepts approximately issues like portray, upkeep, etc. Paint and carpeting ought to final a minimum of many years and it could be unreasonable to charge the final tenant for a paint activity each 12 months or 2. yet, if there are holes interior the partitions (larger than known image putting holes), scuffs, dents and dings, or merely familiar dirtiness, she would be waiting to charge for the fix and/or touch-up portray. If the folk merely circulate out devoid of coming to an association that they are going to sparkling the region, she expenditures a cleansing business enterprise to bathe the region to a definite condition. And, the carpets consistently get wiped sparkling, except they be replaced. And, if there replaced into something broken or broken (apart from something like a easy bulb went out), that gets charged to to the tenant's deposit. you're interior the employer of springing up funds on your aspects. And, if somebody strikes out leaving the region messy or perhaps trashed, they ought to be to blame for putting it returned interior the condition they found it while they moved in. it is not your fault or perhaps your project in the event that they're on difficult circumstances and attempting to maintain funds by potential of cleansing themselves. They broke a fixture and could pay to have it repaired.

in most cases his only action that he has to take is giving you guys 30 day notice to move sounds like he is being generous with giving you 6 months..if you don't want to move that badly you could buy the building from him cause the owner can do what they want with it

state and/or local law controls such situations so you need a local attorney to advise you.

Not if he does so at the end of your lease.
