Can I get out of my lease, if my landlord (owner) sell the property?

[Meowmix79]

My landlord game me a notice today that they are putting the house that my apartment is in up for sale, I'm wondering if this is enough to get me out of my lease I signed, I'm 6 months into it and really hate my apartment. it's too small, there were sewage issues for the first 2 months, now I believe that there is a rodent issue, luckily i have a couple of cats so i'm not too worried, but it just gross, and it's in a not so nice neighbourhood.

The sale of the landlords property has no bearing on your lease. Your lease will be assumable by the new owner.

Only if there is a clause in your lease allowing the parties to void the lease upon sale. Some leases have it, some don't. Look at yours. Generally the law is that your lease follows through with the sale of the building. This is to prevent a new landlord from immediately raising rents on a new building he purchased. The lease stays in effect.

Good Luck!

your stuck there until your lease is up - be sure to put in a 30 day notice to leave at 5 months so you can get out when the 6 month lease expires
