Q: Landlord wants to sell the home Im renting. Real estate investor filed for eviction
My Landlord wants to sell the home Im renting from her. The real estate investor who is interested in buying the home first served me with a 30 day notice to "voluntarily" vacate the home. 2 months later the investor interested in buying the home filed an unlawful detainer with the court representing himself as the plaintiff. Is this legal? Shouldnt the Landlord be the one who has to file the unlawful detainer? And if the Real Estate investor was given permission to manage the eviction for her doesnt my landlord still have to be listed as the plaintiff on the paperwork and him as the assistant? Her name is not mentioned anywhere in the unlawful detainer that he served on me. And technically he has not actually purchased the home yet (or at least it has not been recorded with the county records yet if he has).
