Q: The heir of my decease landlord are selling the house which I'm renting a room, Do I have a rights for moving expense?

A: You can check with the city or county housing department where you live. There are probably rules in place to give you some assistance.

A: In California, your rights as a tenant do not automatically include compensation for moving expenses when your landlord's heirs decide to sell the property. However, certain cities in California have local ordinances that may provide relocation assistance to tenants under specific circumstances, such as in rent-controlled jurisdictions.

It's important to check the local laws of the city where the property is located. For instance, in cities like San Francisco or Los Angeles, there are specific conditions under which tenants may be entitled to relocation assistance.

If your rental is not in a city with such ordinances, generally, the new owners must honor the existing lease terms. If you are on a month-to-month lease, California law requires that landlords provide 60 days' notice to vacate if you've lived in the rental for more than one year, and 30 days' notice if less than one year.

Regardless of your situation, it's advisable to communicate with the heirs or the new owners about your concerns. Sometimes, landlords may offer moving assistance as a goodwill gesture, especially in the case of a sale.

If you're unsure about your rights or the local ordinances, consider consulting with a local attorney or tenant rights organization. They can provide specific guidance based on the details of your situation and the location of the property.
