I have been renting a small house for nearly 4 years, and I just got a certified letter from the landlord telling me to move in 30 days because they want to sell the house. There are no buyers yet, but they just want to ready the house for sale, do renovations and such. I looked up California Tenant Law and it looks like I should be getting 60 or 90 days to move out. Can anyone tell me how many days I get? Also, how do I make my landlord accept the new day limit - they want to talk to their lawyer first. On top of all of this, the landlord wants to start construction on the outside of the house, something that will take 10-14 days, she says. I find this crazy, because she's asking us to leave in 30 and for 1/2 that time she wants to disturb us by doing construction. Is that right? She also wants an appraiser to come in and start taking pictures. Is this right? Can I refuse entry and make her wait till we move out? She's basically putting me under a lot of stress, and I work mega hours every day with 2 jobs. I don't have time for all this moving and trying to find a new place in 30 days.
