Q: What rights do tenants have when a homeowner wants to get rid of property manager but not tenants? Just signed Lease 2.
The owner has decided to fire the real estate company but wants to keep us as the tenant. We just signed a second year long lease 03/01/2020 through the real estate manager. The real estate company said we have to vacate the house at the end of 30 days (to include all of our belongings) so an inspection can be done to get our deposit and then we can move back in. Is this correct? We can’t move a house full of furniture etc for what the real estate company described as 24 hours.
What are our rights? The homeowner wants us here and just wants to get rid of the middle man.
A: I doubt that you have to move out or that the management company can force you. Also, in any event the Tennessee Supreme Court has extended an order restricting evictions for a period of time in light of the covid 19 issue.
