Be out in 2 days?!?!?!

What is the name of your state? OH

My daughter has been renting an apartment for about 9 months. She has no lease, and only a verbal month to month agreement. She was verbally told about a month ago that they were going to put the house up for sale (it's a double). The tenant (who is the landlord's niece) in the other side moved out last week. My daughter was verbally told today by the landlord's niece that she has 2 days to be out or her stuff would be thrown out by her. The landlord has NOT sold the home, or even put it up for sale yet. My daughter can't get in contact with the landlord.

Does she have to be out in 2 days, or is there a process they have to go by? Is there anything she can do?

You don't KNOW that.

We just sold our house recently, and it was never on the MLS or had a sign in the yard, or whatever else you may think gives you grounds for your statement. Actually, when we bought our first house it was never officially "for sale."
 
Regardless if home was sold or not you were given a verbal 30 day notice you acknolwedge that on this very site. You should have used the last 3 1/2 weeks to seek a new rental or least a friend to stay with. If you do not leave Landlord can begin eviction process and you will find that renting in almost impossible with an eviction on your record

Based solely on the facts presented, you don't *have* to be out in two days. You were never given proper notice to move.
With that said, I doubt we got the full story on this one... :rolleyes:

What OP actually wrote was
She was verbally told about a month ago that they were going to put the house up for sale
If that's ALL she was told, then it is NOT notice to move. Houses with tenants are bought and sold all the time without tenants having to move...

Again, though, I doubt that's all she was told.

I agree that she wasn't given proper notice...

She wasn't told by the landlord, she was told by the niece? The other tenant?

I suggest that if she has an address for the landlord...which she should, to send a certified letter requesting information about the situation.

Other than that, I would start looking for another place because it's clear that she's going to have to move at some point.

Your daughter should know that if she were to move today, then she may be breaking her rental agreement by not giving proper notice and the landlord can sue her for not giving him his 30 day notice. If he wants her out, then he should give her notice as prescribe by the state of Ohio. Typically this is a 30 day written notice.
