Landlord is selling the home we’re renting
We currently rent the downstairs of a duplex. Our landlord recently put our house up for sale and yesterday a potential buyer came to look. We are not under a lease. We go month to month. This potential buyer has stated if they buy they’d move into where we’re living and kick us out. Are they able to do that? We also live in Upper Michigan where we are kicking off the winter season. If we are required to move what type of time frame should we be given to find another place? Do we have to move if the weather is bad (ie 3 ft of snow) or if we can’t afford it at all?
Re: Landlord is selling the home we’re renting
The landlord (present or new owner), under a month-to-month lease, is required to give you 30 days notice. If you stay past the 30 days, the owner can have you evicted, regardless of the weather or your finances.

Re: Landlord is selling the home we’re renting
This is why people sign a lease for a longer period. As you are on a month to month tenancy, the landlord need only give you 30 days notice and then they can file to have you evicted. The whole process if done properly should take about 2 months to get you out. For more info., please contact my office at my phone number on the lawguru website.
