The leasing period has not expired. Our lease is "month to month" as verbally stated by our landlord. With that does this mean she can't terminate our lease until after the 31st?

One more thing, she didn't sign the agreement does that make it null and void?

Now she is making noise and moving things around for hours at a time disturbing my peace. This has easily become the worst living situation I've ever been in. Noise laws aren't even in play since we are the only neighbor being affected.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

"Your landlord must give you 60 days advance written notice that the tenancy will end if you and every other tenant or resident have lived in the rental unit for a year or more. However, the landlord must give you 30 days advance written notice in either of the following situations: ...Any tenant or resident has lived in the rental unit less than one year;"

"For example, if the landlord served a 60-day notice on July 16, you would begin counting the 60 days on July 17, and the 60-day period would end on September 14."

Britney, before you do anything else, go get a copy of your lease and read it carefully. It's going to be very difficult for anyone here to give you accurate advice without knowing what type of lease and what lease clauses exist on your signed lease. What your landlord says is not relevant.

Before you think about litigation, I would recommend negotiating with the landlord and trying to settle things amicably. It would not be unreasonable for you to ask for things like a moving stipend or an extension from the landlord given the circumstances.

It is a month to month lease. Unfortunately. I was more looking into how to take action against the deception. She had not given us any idea that she was planning to sell the home when we signed the lease 2 weeks prior to moving in. 6 days following moving in she tells us she is selling and 4 days after that she serves us a written notice to vacate.

I have not even been in this home for 2 weeks yet and am already having to pack up and move again.

The fact that she concealed the sale from you would have a very sympathetic judge if you went to landlord tenant court You might also ask for a moving stipend in negotiations.Do not be intimidated

Do you know where I could find the 30 day notice law? I want to have as much documentation I possibly can.

she called it a month to month lease and gave us the impression that it was a long term rental. She clearly knew she was planning to sell it if she already had a realtor in my apartment 2 days after telling us she was selling

My Husband and I have recently moved into a one bedroom apartment on the ground floor of our Landlords home. After only being her tenant for 7 days she informed us that she is selling her home.

We were officially served a notice to vacate yesterday and have until February 12th to find a new place to live.

Does anyone know if she can do this to us or have any advice on how to deal with this or any legal information. I just feel that this cannot be okay.

We are currently living in Templeton California.
