Not sure this is the right place to post, but here goes:
The PILs live in a rental property in California, which is currently being sold. The agent they have been paying rent to is now refusing to say who owns the property, and has implied that he won't accept the rent anymore. The tenancy agreement requires landlord to give 2 months notice to quit. I'm worried that the agent is trying to create a situation where they default on the rent making it easier to get them out. The PILs speak lousy English, and don't fully understand the system. What is the position for tenants if the house is sold? Am I right in thinking the seller owns the property up until close of escrow, and is there any way of finding out when that is supposed to happen?
Dh can't go and help them out because our baby is due any day.
