What are my rights as a tenant?

I have lived in a home for eight years that has been sold? The real estate company has given me 60 days to pack and move. Are they allowed to come and go into my home at any time they want even if I’m not there.

Every state has different laws. Have you read the laws for tenant rights in your state? Are you in a current lease? I know in GA the landlord has the right to enter with 24 hour notice most of the time, but each lease can have specific terms as well.

Tenant rights vary by state, but generally you have the right to a safe, habitable home, privacy, and proper notice before eviction or entry. Review your lease and check your state’s tenant laws to make sure your landlord is following proper procedures.

Hi Mary, you will want to check with an attorney to find out your rights. They are different in each state and each lease can have different terms as well. From my experiences, leases frequently allow for some amount of notice for the convenience of the tenants. You may just want to read your lease agreement, the answer may be there.
