Q: i have rented and lived in a house for 15+ years, now the homeowner wants to sell the house and is giving me 60 days to
get out, is that fair? i have done a lot of work on the house without compensation.
A: Depending on all the details, your situation is likely governed by the SC Landlord-Tenant Act and your Lease. Without more information, I cannot provide much more insight, but I would recommend reading the Act and your Lease and highlighting or underlining everything relevant to your issue, and then reviewing what you have found. Relating to the work done to the house without compensation, that would be a separate issue apart from the termination of the lease, and I simply do not have enough information here to provide further insight.
