Walk It Through: The New Owner

The building is sold mid lease, a new owner wants changes, and the deposit follows the sale.

Halfway through a lease, the duplex is sold and the new owner says everyone must leave.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A residential lease on a building sold to a private buyer. A foreclosure sale, an expropriation, and a lease that was never recorded against a third party are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
