The apartment I am renting has been foreclosed and sold to an investor. The landlord collected my rent (through October 15th) anyway and refuses to return the check. The new owner left a notice requesting to stop paying rent to the former owner. There was no other communication between us and the new owner. However, yesterday they left a 24 Hour Notice to Enter Dwelling (CC 1954) circling reason #7 -To exhibit the dwelling to real estate or other agents of the owner. I am on a month-to-month rental agreement with the former owner. Can I refuse entry by simply not being there or should I request to postpone or request to have another legal documentation first?
You have 90 days and if necessary you can hire an attorney to assert these rights. You have no right to bar the owner from looking at his property with reasonable notice.
