contracts
When we bought these 8 townhouses, most were under a signed contract with the previous owner. I was told that this would carry over to the new owner. The lease was for one year and then a month to month rental. Do these first contracts have any legal standings or should I have re-issued new contracts. Is there a law that carpet has to be replaced every 5 years?
And is there a limit or maximun of the rent can be increased. Thank you

Lease
My current lease expired in February of 2006. My landlord told me on July 6, 2006 that I am now on a month to month lease. He never asked me if I wanted to renew my lease. Then He tried to enter my apartment without my consent for the building inspector. He says that he does not have a key so he could not get in. I explained to him that it is just my daughter and I living there and I perfer if he told me when he wanted to get into my place so that I could be there in case of an emergency. My apartment was broken into a few days before Christmas of 2006 and he never bothered to call be but he gave my phone number to the police. So now, he tells me that he is going to serve me with a 5 day notice if I don’t get a key made for him. What can I do?

the house I rent is being forclosed on
I have tried to view the answer for the question I asked on Friday and for some reason I can not do so. So I am trying to ask it again. I read the first part that I could and the answer conflicts with an answer I received a week ago. Can someone please help? Thank you
I have lived in a rental house for 45 days. I am on a verbal agreement for month to month. I gave the landlord a 2000 deposit cashiers check with my first months rent. He said it will be used as my last months rent. I have paid March and April with cashiers checks with my landlords name on them. I have copies. I received a Notice of trustees sale on my door on last Tuesday saying the house I live in will be going to auction on the fifith of may. My landlord said everything is fine and he is negotiating with the banks. But another property that he owns also had this notice so I dont really believe him. I am going to go to the sale on the fifth. What do I do? Do I pay rent on the first or wait. How long do I have to stay in the house. Please guide me in the right direction. How do I go about getting the 2000 back?Should I get out as soon as I can?
Is someone going to come and throw all my stuff out? I am scared
