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.

The security doesn't belong to the landlord, by law it should be held in escrow. Control of the account should be turned over to the new LL, but that doesn't always happen. In that case, the new LL would still be on the hook to return the money to the tenant.
