We have 6 months left in our lease and our landlord has decided to sell. He is talking about having open houses and giving the listing agent access to our unit. We have a standard condo rental agreement, so we understand that he can come at reasonable hours to show the unit. Do we have the right to ask for/expect notice prior to people arriving? Do we have to allow our apartment to be available for multiple hours on multiple weekends for open houses for the next 6 months? I could understand if we didn’t resign our lease and this was going to happen for the 30 to 60 days prior to the end of our lease, but 6 months seems a bit much. The section in the lease that allowed 30 days notice for the sale of the unit was removed and agreed upon at the beginning of the lease, so we are able to stay in the unit until the end of the lease. What are our rights/expectations in this situation?
