Q: My landlord sold the property I live on but in the written agreement with the new owner was that I was to be able to
Live here for one more year rent already paid well 3 days later he sold it to his nephew said he doesn't have to honor the contract what can I do
A:
New owner, relative or not, steps into the shoes of the old owner. He has no more rights, and the same obligations, as the former owner. If you have a fixed term lease, and you are not in violation of any of the terms of that lease, you need not move. You have an right to continued possession.
