Landlord has just informed me that he will be selling my house. My house? OK it is his but after 3 years here I was just in the process of making it my home. It is a fucking pig of a rental market at the moment too. THe lower end of the rental market is $30/week more for the size house I need and the competition is really high. I have 5 weeks o get the house I need before it is too late and up against every double income family in Canberra. Fucking joy!
Damn. I hope you get that sorted out properly.
Me too.
Has the landlord just sold it? Or has he only put it on the market to sell? You shouldn't get 30 days notice to vacate until contracts are exchanged, and they should at least put you on a month-by-month lease until that happens. Seems silly to want the house vacant now and not earn rent off it, in case the property sits unsold on the market for months.
It's a fucking pig of a selling market atm too. Here's hoping it sits on the market for months and he resorts to reducing the price by $'000's
(like the previous owners of my house had to do).
And there's hoping it gets sold with existing tenancies so you get to stay
