Depends where you live. And on your lease.

If I'm not mistaken, in NYC, no lease, landlord must give 30 days notice.

Whichever situation you're in, it should work out smoothly and clearly.

Amen! Was just told by landlord I need to be out in 60 days! I have a large family Kah! How am I supposed to find an apartment so fast?!

Jewish Press, luach.com, hang up a sign in local shuls and yeshivos. Check your lease, but if it doesn't say anything to the contrary, there's not much you can do; just be grateful they gave you 60 days instead of 30. You could ask nicely for an extension, and offer to pay higher rent to get an extra 2-3 months, but your landlord is under no legal obligation to grant it.

What is he planning to do after the 60 days are over? Apartments for big families are hard to find even in areas where housing is not so tight.
I bless you that you find an apartment better than you had till now, good neighbors and all!

Where I live you can only kick-out 'good' tenants if you need the unit for personal use. I assume that's whats going on here.

I've never heard of that. Generally, property owners have the right to do whatever they want with their property, unless its discriminatory. Its certainly not true in NYC, which is the locale I'm most familiar with:

Am I guaranteed a renewal lease in my unregulated apartment?

No. Except for rent regulated apartments, a tenant may only renew the lease with the consent of the landlord. See the section on Renewal Leases in the NYS Attorney General's Tenants' Rights Guide, linked to from our website.

Obviously I'm not in NYC.

I guess I live in a more tenant friendly place than most.

That's eviction. OP isn't being evicted. Her lease isn't being renewed. Those are entirely different things.

I was in a similar situation recently:

My landlord said I need to move (house was on the market and new owners wanted it vacant).

I began to look for an apartment. Couldn't find.

She reminded me that the house is selling and I must move.

I continued my search.

Eventually, she sent me a legal notice to vacate by the end of 30 days.

I called legal services and was told not to worry.

At the end of 30 days nothing happened.

It took the landlord a while to figure out how to proceed legally.

So he finally sent me an Order to Show Cause.

I called legal services and an attorney reviewed the landlord's paperwork.

Turns out, there was a technical issue in the way the landlord gave me notice. So that gave me move time.

Finally, the landlord and my lawyer went to court.

My lawyer told the judge about the technical issue with the way the notice was served.

The landlord had the option of starting over the eviction process, or make a settlement.

So he chose to make a settlement. We settled on six months (I don't know how common six months is)

All in all, from start to finish, from the day I received the legal Notice til the day I moved was 12 months.

Wishing you an easy process!

In the meantime, the family that was buying the home that you held over in had to scramble to find a new place at the last minute. They also probably lost money that they already spent on counsel fees, home inspection, and title search. But I'm sure that they must have had an easy time.

And your landlord. They lost the sale. Maybe they really needed the money for something important.

But glad it worked out for you.

its not relevant to OP.. but in Ontario they aren't different things.

In Ontario a residential landlord can't kick out a tenant out at the end of a lease, unless he needs the place for personal use, buyer needs place for personal use.. place needs major repairs... https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17 see 48(1) and onward.

I live in Quebec and the law is the same. And you can only raise the rent by about 15$/year.

Not quite. My landlord was dead and her only child wanted to sell her house as he has no use for it.
