1 Lawyer Answer

A: Much depends upon the exact details - what the 90 day notice said; what, if any, other papers were served; what, if anything, was said about relocation assistance; etc. You are correct that the seller/landlord is obligated to show you a copy of the offer that he accepted, along with a declaration by the buyer that they intend to occupy the dwelling as their primary residence. The Notice has to contain all the legally required information and be lawfully served. If you have questions about your specific situation and Notice, take it to a local landlord-tenant attorney for a review.
