Mid Lease Landlord Change question

[Danielle Scott]

I am a landlord that is renting out of state and have found myself in somewhat of a pickle. Somewhat unfamiliar with the tenant side of things so thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here.

Background:   Long story short - I've had a horrible landlord whom I reported to the owners of the property. They decided to fire the old landlord and now it seems unclear whom will be the new landlord from now on. One of their friends is managing it until they can find someone more permanent. I have not received any paperwork past an addendum to a section of our lease stating the owner can designate in writing a new place to remit payment to, so nothing addressing a new landlord. I'm assuming they're waiting to find a permanent replacement. They have me paying them directly instead of the old landlord now. I paid the old landlord a substantial $1700 deposit prior to moving in last summer and am concerned about the refund of that deposit and any other small little things I haven't thought of that come along with a new landlord mid lease.

What should I ask the owners for as far as a lease addendum or other with the new landlord?

Any special considerations I should be made aware of with a change of landlord mid lease?

Will the refund of the deposit change at all with a new landlord mid lease?
