[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, and people don't change their minds?  My mother is a realtor and she knows many people that come to her with definite ideas about what they want to do and when and when she talks to them about listing, issues, etc, they change their mind.  How do you know that the landlord wasn't talking about her plans before she spoke to a realtor about listing/selling in the spring and then spoke to a realtor and changed to selling in the summer?  It could happen.

Since you don't know that the landlord is lying, you only suspect she is, just protect yourself as stated by putting clauses into the lease before you renew.[/quote]

You bring up a valid point, but that she was bragging she wasn't going to tell her tenants until they renewed is very telling, wouldn't you agree?[/quote]

Absolutely.  And I agree that the landlord is likely to be lying, but that's still a far cry from definitely lying.  And nowhere close to where I would accuse someone of lying.  Some people have too much verbal diarrhea and too little sense to stop talking.  And many of them talk about things that they are thinking about rather than things that they have already planned.  Besides, the plan that is being 'bragged' about is at least 9 months away.  A lot can change in 9 months that may affect whatever schedule the landlord has in mind.

For all of that, it really doesn't matter if the landlord is lying or not.  What matters is that OP do what she needs to do, either moving now (as her most recent post suggests) or writing in a clause saying something to the effect of the landlord must give 60 days notice after listing and must include a clause in any listing that says that the new owners cannot terminate the lease early.  These protections will keep the landlord from selling the home from under their feet.[/quote]
