Notice to Quit/Vacate (DC)
I live in DC and have 18 months left on the 2-year lease I signed with the landlord.
About 2 months ago, the landlord informed me that he is selling the apartment, hopefully to another investor, who would then become my new landlord. The landlord ended up accepting an offer from an individual who wants to occupy the unit. I declined my first right to purchase as the asking price is beyond my range. I was not too concerned because I thought the lease agreement will stand (i.e. either my current landlord, or the person buying the unit would have to honor the agreement) - or I guess they could make an offer for me to move out.
To my surprise, I received a letter stating that I have 90-days to vacate the apartment because he is selling it to someone else.
I am very surprised to receive the notice and it seems oddly unfair that the landlord can demand such a thing! Is this legal in DC??
