Like I said, we don’t know the agreement or the circumstances for either party. If it’s month to month, then it is 30 day notice for both sides. If its a longer term, then there is legal recourse available if either party breaks the agreement. I’m sorry if it sounds callous, but if you have a month to month agreement, but assume you’ll be there forever is both naive and irresponsible. Renters don’t tend to care about leaving a LL with a vacancy for months (although I’ve had some very nice ones that have helped find new people)
My threat of litigation may have no merit, but if you willfully and maliciously attempt to interfere with someone’s right to conduct business, its against the law. One could say “I was only informing him of public information” but the real question is “why?” If you’ve highlighted things and otherwise made it seem that there is some wrong doing going on with the intent to enrage a tenant or encourage them to take action against the LL, then it’s malicious. That was my point.
My 2 cents, in this market, a tenant’s hardships (having to find a new place) is much more desirable then a LL hardship. But I’m not going to take sides. My whole point is we do not have info and can not throw anyone under a bus. And it’s not right to interfere in this, by assuming the tenant is little red riding hood.
I’m not too worked up… I just get this way sometimes =) I’ve been on both sides of this for the last several years as a tenant and a land lord. It’s just there’s always 2 sides to things.

January 28, 2010 at 12:21 PM in reply to: Landlords who try to sneak a home sale past tenants… #506498unevenParticipantOnce again we need to bash the evil landlord and protect the innocent tenants. None of us know the situation the landlord is in. Maybe things got desperate. Maybe it won’t sell for months or more and there’s no need to spook the tenants. I would inform my tenants, but there’s no law requiring me to. If it’s a month to month lease, it can be broken by “either” party for any reason. So if the landlord changes plans and gives them 30 days to move out, he’s evil and if the tenant changes plans and moves out in 30 days he’s a hero? Business is business. Otherwise, let’s turn it all over to the heavenly state to manage it all for us and we can lives on Candycane lane. If anyone intentionally notified my tenants maliciously like you did, I’d sue them for interfering with my right to conduct business. You don’t know all the facts and pretending you do and acting on that makes you more self righteous than the evil landlord.

unevenParticipantIt’s a tough answer because there’s usually more to a lot than just the size. Views? Privacy? Neighbors on all sides? But, for what it’s worth, we just bought a new house and the builder charged $35K on top of a $700K house in Carlsbad for a 7500 lot vs ours which is 5300. We both have ocean views, but we;re on opposite sides of the street, so its complicated. the other one has better ocean views now, until the next street down is built and he’ll loose the views except from 2nd floor. We have ocean out the front and side and canyons behind. Hope that was all of some help.
