If your landlord is selling the home or condo you rent, the sale doesn't automatically mean you have to move out. In this video, Katherine explains what typically happens if you have a fixed-term lease, what changes if you're month-to-month, and how showings work while you still live there.
That includes whether your lease survives the sale, what a new owner can and can't do, month-to-month notice rules, California's "just cause" tenant protections, and landlord entry and showing rules — plus what to get in writing about rent, repairs, and your deposit.
Before you panic, read your lease and ask for everything in writing. Reach out if you're navigating a rental sale in Orange County and want help understanding your options. This is general information, not legal advice — for a specific issue, talk to a California landlord-tenant attorney.
