Month to month lease and leaving
Been renting now for about 7 years, last 6 yrs have been month to month. Im proud to say we are model tenants. I almost never call my landlord's real estate agent who manages the property (the owners live overseas in UAE) as I do mox fixes and repairs myself. Our lawn is perfect while all neighbours have weeds galore. We traveleld the world and rented everywhere and we always treat a rented home as our own because it is: we live there. Ok enough background, LOL
We are buying a home and after reno's, we are looking at a possible exiting of this rental later this year. I know I must give 2 months notice, which is fine BUT if the reno work isnt done on time (and I know this sounds terrible) but can we just refuse to leave? We will pay for any additional rent (we are not trash) but if we needed to stay an extra month, could we? Granted, I will tell the owner beforehand that this is a possibility and that we would be happy to pay but just checking of there is an issue we might run into that we cant see. BTW, I will not allow prospective tenants to come through the property while we are here. Tough shit, I won't budge on that point. So in that regard, it isnt like they will have someone ready to move in regardless.
Thanks
