I had a 1 yr lease then it went to month to month after that year was up. Landlord sold house and told us to be out by 2/15, now they are wanting us out by 2/1? Is there anything we can do to get more time to find a place and to come up with money for the move?

Marie -- It depends on the terms of your lease. Usually, in a month-to-month scenario, the tenant or landlord has to give the other 30 days notice of their intent to end the lease. I don't know how long ago your landlord gave you notice, but if your lease requires 30 days and it's been less than that, you may very well have the right to stay in the house until the 30 days is up.

Good luck to you.
