Q: Hi my landlord sent me a text a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to renew my lease
I said yes I would like to renew my lease my lease is up on July 1st . She sends another text saying she will not be renewing the lease and she’s selling the house . It’s super short notice considering I thought I would be staying at the house . Is there anything I can do to resolve this
A:
Unless I miss my guess if you are a good tenant your grateful landlord might be happy to let you stay on as a month-to-month tenant, or perhaps give you a short-term lease because the landlord needs money coming in too.
Try approaching the landlord "hat-in-hand" and be polite. Do NOT get angry or otherwise antagonize the landlord.
