Hello. My landlords just sold our building - they closed yesterday. Monday we were served with a 5 day notice by the former owners for one month of unpaid rent. The rent is from 4 months ago and we have paid every month since. Can the old owners still take us to court and evict us? They have no deals with the new owner over this so we don't really know where we stand. Is the 5 day notice still valid even though the building now has a new owner who does not want us evicted as my husband will be performing the maintenance for him? We are unsure as is the new owner as to what the legalities are. We do plan to pay for the one month of rent but cannot before the 5 days are up. So basically I am wondering if the former owners still have the right to evict us or just take us to small claims court?
