    Si se trata de un acuerdo verbal, puede ser atornillada. Si es en papel, jurídicamente, en la mayoría de los estados, los nuevos propietarios tienen que cumplir con el contrato de alquiler hasta que expire. Lamentablemente, no hay prueba de un acuerdo verbal. Es posible que desee hablar con su antiguo propietario acerca de cómo algo por escrito, para protegerlo a usted una vez que los nuevos propietarios de tomar el relevo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los lugares son mucho más difíciles de vender en caso de que ya están ocupadas por inquilinos, ya que la mayoría de propietarios que buscan ocupar la casa. Es posible consultar a un abogado, o lo mejor sería empezar a buscar un nuevo alquiler.

    Without a written agreement, you’re out in the cold. Sorry to hear it. Maybe… just maybe… he has something else??? But, of course, you’ll want to do any future business with him ON PAPER.

    que estás en un mes-a-mes. Usted está atornillado. Vivir y aprender: no mejoran la de otros bienes.

    i really, really hate to say it, but i think you’re screwed.

    it sounds to me like he ‘s going to sell the house, and it sure isn’t worth it to pursue him legally to stop him anyways– even if you did have a verbal agreement. if you kept your receipts, you might try submitting them to the landlord, but if he tells you he’s not going to reimburse you, you’d have to take him to small claims over it anyways.

    you have been hosed, i’ve been there, and i’m sorry.

    que está atornillado …. lo siento ser tan burdo … pero es posible que puedas llegar a él para las reparaciones y si tiene registros de ellos y lo que ha puesto en el lugar, y los ingresos, puede ser capaz de llevarlo a una corte de demandas pequeñas. NUNCA NUNCA alquilar una casa w / SA o contrato de arrendamiento! el chico de un barrio bajo y está usando usted! O puede incluso causar algunos "ligeros" (OOPS!) Los daños a la labor que haya puesto en él y también desde que el dueño no tiene un contrato de arrendamiento documentados, puede muy bien ser demasiado jodidos! Para él no tiene ninguna prueba de que fueron sus inquilinos! (LOL)

    An old saying that goes like this an oral agreement isnt worth the paper its written on your side more than likely youre going to court but youd need some mighty strong witnesses on your side more than likely youre going to find new place to find new place to.

    Unfortunately, there isn’t anything that can be done. Oral agreements are rarely held accountable as binding contracts and because there are no signed contracts either, you’re really left with only one option and that is to find a new place to live.

    I’m sorry you’re having to go through this and I hope that you are able to find a new home quickly and easily, preferably with a written contract. I wish you the very best!

    Unfortunately, without the protection of a lease agreement you really do not have any recourse here. In CA where I’m from, this is a contract that requires a writing and I am certain that most states would follow suit. Hiring an attorney and pursuing this further is probably not worth it.
    Look for another place and make sure to fill out a lease agreement with your next place. This is both for you and your landlord’s protection.

    based on your relationship with him since you have known each other for 3 years and are probably on good terms your best bet is to try and negotiate some sort of compensation for your work…

    I am also not so convinced that you may be totally screwed if you were to take this to small claims arguing that the work you put into the home was in consideration of the fact that he was not to sell the home…if you can prove that this is what he had told you and not what you had assumed from him then you may have a leg to stand on…not the easiest argument but your position looks weak
