I have a situation that would like to know more on how to handle it.
If I lease a property and the lease contract stated that the lease
will automatically be extend on a month to month basis after the
expiration of the initial lease term unless either party provides
written notice not less than 30 days prior to the next rent due date
of their intent not to extend the lease term. Before the lease
actually up, the landlord asked me verbally what I would like to do,
whether I want to move out or buy his place because he intended to
sell the place once the lease expired. I told him let me think about
it first and will informed him of my decision. The landlord asked
while I think about it if he could go ahead and show the place for a
prospective buyer on that very same day, which I did let him and he
showed it to a client of his about five to ten minutes later after he
first talked to me about his intention. This happened last weekend.
I've found a new place now and verbally informed the landlord of my
intention to move out by this weekend, he then told me that I've
violate my contract by not providing a written notice of at least 30
days ahead of time first. Since I'm only doing exactly the same thing
that the landlord was doing, verbally informing each other, and he did
it first, am I still obligate to the term as written in the contract? ...

Moob Lajleeb-- i am not a lawyer, but to my knowledge, yes, you will
be violating the contract if you move out. remember that buyer and
and renter are two different things. the landlord can show or sell
the place to anyone anytime regardless of your lease contract. the
only violation of the landlord would be if these two things occurred.
(1) the place is bought and the new landlord does not honor your
current contact that you signed with the previous landlord before its
expiration date or (2) the landlord rent your place to someone else
or kick you out before your notification of termination of the leave.

there is one more thing though. i think they call it, "the first
refusal to buy" clause. if your contact has this clause, that means
you have the right to be the first to buy or refuse to buy the place.
the landlord cannot show or sell it to anyone before your notification
of refusal to buy. but i don't think your contract has this clause.
i believe only commercial rentals have it.

Mhoobthaibteb,

1. if you do not agree with the landlord of showing the place, he at
least should give you 24 hrs noticed b4 he can show the place to any
potential buyer. since you were verbally authorized him to show his
potential buyer. he did not violate any law or the contract between
you two.

2. i did not get what you were saying. did your rental contract
expire? if not, you may be obligated to be responsible for all rents
until the rental contract had expired, whether or not you live in the...

Thank you Kwvtij for pointing those real estate procedures out. Yes, he did
verbally told me that I have the first choice to buy, and as I've told him
that I'll let him know of my final answer later. I did told him the next
day that I will be looking for a new place to rent instead of buying his
place. I did however ask how long do I have before I actually have to move
out after the expiration of the lease, just in case I cannot find another
place right away. He said 2 or 3 months. However, my point is that since
we already understood each other that I will not be buying his place and
intend to leave when I find another place to live, since indirectly he is
telling me that either you buy my place or move out, doesn't he also has to
have that in writing of 30 days notice too?...

mr. larry-- no so quick!

here is what mr. lajleeb stated, "the lease contract stated that the
lease
will automatically be extend on a month to month basis after the
expiration of the initial lease term unless either party provides
written notice not less than 30 days prior to the next rent due
date"

uh.. ha... now that means that mr. lajleeb has to notify the landlord
30 regardless. to get out of the deal, he would have to notify his
landlord today and still have to pay the next month rent April 15th
through May 15th.

mr. lajlee

Mtt...

the reply posts are correct...you need to give 30 day notice...

however....brother...take it from me, if he is in such a rush to sell
it, it could be that he is already behind in his payment. with this
in mind, i do not think he will waste the money trying to go after you
for one month of rent. in addition, your deposit will be "deducted"
anyway..regardless if you give the 30 days notice or not (provided
that he is behind in his payment...and he needs the money...he will
find things to deduct)..mostly likely, your deposit will be gone by
the time he check out everything. if you want, take a chance and move
out...i do not thing he will come after you..
