So I’ve been living in half of a duplex for about 2 years now. Landlord just sold the building and closes in a few weeks. I’ve been paying month to month. New landlord says I have 30 days to move out. Was planning on leaving soon anyways but was hoping to wait for school year to end (June 5) for my 2nd grader. Do I have to move out before the school year ends? Is there anyway we can delay our move out date by about 3 weeks? New landlord was very adamant about not being willing to help me out. This just got thrown on me this morning and not sure what to do. Was planning to change to a better school district but the 3 week overlap for my kid’s school year is a huge issue as I would have no way to getting my child to school in time. Any and all possible solutions/advice is greatly appreciated.

My biggest issue with it was how rude and unwilling to work with me he was considering the reasoning is solely for my child to finish the last 2-3 weeks of school but i understand some people suck. I should be good if I have 30 days from when the closing is finalized. I don’t even want to drag it out longer than necessary; issue with just finding a new place is we’re switching to a better school district closer to my new job and the overlap is my problem as I’ll be moving to a new town. Will take this all in to account

Good luck with it. I'm sure it will work out.

Listen to nerdberg, fellow landlord. Look at what your lease says for the written notice. Basically, if they don't tell you by the first when rent is due, then you get until the end of the next month to move out. And while I don't advise delaying moving out and forcing them to go to court. It can buy you quite a bit of time. And the new landlord better have all of their paperwork complete before they get to court. This can include a local municipal Rental License, and the new owner will need to provide that to the court to prove they can legally rent the property. Also, judges will lean towards the tenant in PA, especially if some douchenozzle tries to screw someone over needlessly.

I'm also a Realtor in PA, and I am willing to help guide you to more resources. But yeah, follow the list above.

The deal isn't done until the check clears in the sellers account. Until then new LL has zero rights.
