Renters Rights when the home is up for sale.
I moved into a house about a year ago. Earlier this year, the landlord put the house back on the market. At the time, we had agreed to a 24-hour notice before anyone came by to see or show the house.
We have had about 20 people come to the house so far... and about two 24-hour notices. First it was a few hours, then it was 1 hour, then it was 30 minutes...
Usually, I was at work when I got the call and didn't really care but last weekend, me and my girlfriend were enjoying our ONE day off a week. We were in our skimpies, loungin on the couch watcin TV. Suddenly, our doorbell rang over and over and there was a LOUD knocking on the door. I got dressed and answered the door. It was my landlord.
She said there were investors coming up from L.A. (which is about 8 hours from us) and they would be here in about 30 minutes. She barely spits it all out of her mouth as she's leaving and says "ok thanks!"
I sat there stunned for a minute... it all happened so fast. I immediately got my cell and called her. She didn't answer. I left a message... I was a little pissed. I told her it was Saturday and we were supposed to have 24 hours. I said they can come if they want but my girlfriend and I would be sitting on the couch naked when they do.
She called back and we got into it a bit. She said that if I didn't cooperate she could have an eviction notice on my door by 4:30pm Monday. I told her it was all very %#@#ed up.. but we complied. We quickly tried to straighten up the house and left.
What are our rights here? Is this legal? Is she allowed to do this??
