I assume the rental was going n Georgia.
Look at your lease in the "notice" section. It states the type of notices that are acceptable. If e-mails to the person who you sent the notice is in that section, you shouldn't owe anything.
There is no clause in my lease regarding landlord terminating lease early
Yes, the landlord can sell the property,
BUT
the new landlord takes subject to your current lease. That means he steps into the shoes of your landlord.
I assume there isn't a sale provision in the lease that allows the purchaser to terminate the lease.
is this legal
Yes, it's legal
He does not have to renew your lease.
However, check the lease to see if he has a deadline to give you formal notice if nonrenewal.
Also, if the landlord sells the house before the lease is up, the new owner will take subject to the lease. That means the... Read more »
I live weekly and I pay every Tuesday. They didn’t make me aware of the terms and conditions regarding children. The higher authority haven’t even came me notice ?
What is the rule regarding children?
How are you allegedly violating it?
Is this rule anywhere in the document you signed when you checked in or near the check-in desk?
I have given written and verbal warning their month to month agreement will not sustain after Feb 28th. I have offered money for keys by March 30th.
If it is a month to month tenant, you take subject to the tenancy. Unless, there is a shorter period agreed to by the parties, you must give 60 days notice. Once the 60 days notice had ended, you must seek court intervention to remove them.
My landlord is trying to make me sign an addendum to agree to get renter's insurance, for a full year, and my lease started in August, with no mention that renters is required, it strictly states that "renter's insurance is not mandatory, but we do encourage you to obtain it to cover your personal...

If the lease did not originally required it, the next section you have to look at are amendments and notice. Is there a section in your lease that allows the landlord to amend the lease with notice. If not, than I don't see how he can do it. However, you may want to take the lease to an attorney... Read more »
Does landlord have the right to refuse tenant access to their personnel property on front yard and convert property to their own?
In short, no
The landlord must put the property in a location where the tenant can get it
A breach of contract has a long statute of limitations. So, three years is not too long.
Whether they have a valid legal claim is another thing.
The landlord must put your things out so you can get them on the day of the eviction. Failure to do so means he has converted your property. Yes, you can sue.
They have had pest control come out but he isn't using proper chemicals for German Roaches. I had to throw out my microwave because a nest was in it, what are my options and rights
You can sue the landlord in Superior Court to force a repair (AKA extermination of the roaches) and obtain damages for failure to repair. If you live in a rental house, you also have the option of informing the landlord that you intend to repair the situation yourself by hiring your own licensed... Read more »
We were informed to do free estimates for repairs to house when estimates came in and we provided our issues in written form she went to police came to home with them for a inspection that was never scheduled and then sent us a 30-day vacate premises notice
There is a new Georgia law that protects tenants for being kicked out simply because they complain of a health and safety problem with the rental property.
The new law is OCGA 44-7-24
You may or may not fall under this new section
The only thing that was paid was the application fee.
You signed the contract. Look at the contract to determine if you have a grace period to terminate the lease.
You didn't state why you wanted to terminate the lease. The reason for wanting to break the lease may change my answer.

He claims I abandoned the house. If I still pay utilities and have mail coming to the house can he... Read more »
He doesn't know the law.
You still have an ownership interest in the property.
Therefore, you should seek counsel who specializes in real estate to force a partition of the property, if possible.
This may cause the house to be sold or to force him to buy you out.... Read more »

You received some type of statement from your landlord. What did your landlord say about ending your lease?
The time to challenge the early termination was before you moved.
Now that you moved, it is questionable if you can sue him for breach of contract.

If you are month to month or have a lease, he can throw your things out on the street without a writ from the court.
He will have to file a dispossessory, win, then get a writ.

We payed novmbers rent late and now shes telling us 30 days but above reads 60 days
If you don't have a written lease that shortens the notice to 30 days, it's 60 days.
Normally, when the landlord makes the fatal mistake of not adding "all others" to the dispossessory affidavit, the sheriff's office will not approve the removal of possessions from the house if someone objects.
Everyone else can file to stop the eviction or contact the sheriff's office... Read more »
I also found out that she was selling the house or that the house was sold on the day the house sold and now she's calling asking if we are found a place to move yet but my one-year lease isn't up until February
Look at your lease. If the lease doesn't terminate if the house is sold, the new owner takes subject to the lease. He or she will have to wait until February unless your lease is bought out by agreement or there is an early termination provision in the lease.
