The landlord wants me to leave because he's giving it to his son

I experienced something similar 2 years ago. The landlord said he would give the house to his son, but we later found out the son backed out, and he still tried to evict us. According to the lease agreement, you don’t have to leave immediately; you have rights until the end date of the contract. We struggled quite a bit, but in the end, we stayed for another year.

How much time is left until the contract date? Did he also say something to you in writing, like an email or notification?

@camkenari there are 6 months left on the lease contract, they didn't say anything like that in writing, just told me over the phone 🫢

I think you should have defended your rights on the phone immediately. It's silly to wait for something written; it’s clear he will try every way possible.

Even if he says his son will stay there according to the law, he still needs to send a notice within a reasonable period. There are provisions in the law for situations like the new owner or his son staying, but the eviction process still continues. The first step would be to have a clear written communication with you, meaning 🤦‍♀️.

@soncaykaldi what you're saying is ridiculous. How can you defend your rights without it being in writing? Is he going to show his phone in court?

Finding a new place is already extremely difficult in the current market. Plus, the moving process is very tiring, packing up belongings, transportation, and all that. I'd say stick it out until the last moment.

I won't go out.

How will you really understand if your son is living at home? He leaves a key there as a ruse, then rents it out, and you end up locked out. Ask for proof of this; mere words won't suffice.
