New Landlord

By anonymous

Hello,

Recently our duplex was sold to a new owner. His property managment wants us to complete a new credit check sign a new lease. Is this allowed? Our previous lease was month to month and we do not want to get into a lease as we will be buying a home in the next few months.

Thanks!

Since your rental unit belongs to another landlord and you do not have a year lease then yes the new owner has the right to run a new credit check on you and let you sign a new lease. I think the best you can do id to talk to the new owner about your intention of buying a home and that if it is possible that you can just have a monthly lease and not a year lease. There is really no harm in talking politely right? Goodluck!

              I have a question. My rent is $600.00. On 2/5/13 I prepaid my rent for the amount of $2400.00, to the property management my landlord at the time dealt with. I recently found out that on 2/22/13 the property had been sold. My new landlord is holding me responsable for the rent that I already prepaid. And the property management is saying I have to deal with the previous owner because they no longer have the money. What do I do?
