Landlord Changes Lease

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Georgia

Our lease was up July 31st and our landlord notified us 10 days prior that our lease renewal now included they were going to sell the home and we could renew but if the house sold, we'd have 45 days to vacate. We told him we we're not going to renew cause of that, we have kids and didn't want to possibly have to move mid school year. So he comes back stating we didn't give him 30 days notice of vacating. Really!?!? We didn't know 30 days prior and were going to renew until he changed the lease. My understanding is he had to give us 60 days notice of changes to the new lease. Now, we receive an email saying if we don't pay the monies by tomorrow, legal action will be taken. What's yalls thoughts? Thanks

I cannot read your lease from here, and am thus not able to tell you if it requires that you provide your landlord with notice that you intend to move at the end of the lease term. What does it say about notice and automatic renewal or extension? Did you move out or are you still in residence?

We moved out as we told him we would. The original lease did say auto renewal but the othe only reason we didn't sign the extension is cause he changed it about selling the house 10 days prior to lease end. We had no plans to move. We couldn't have given him notice since we only knew 10 days prior to lease end. Thanks

So your lease automatically extends on a month-to-month basis after the lease term unless you give a month's notice? I understand that your landlord attempted to negotiate different terms, and that you didn't agree to those terms. That doesn't mean that your lease can be terminated without one or both of you giving proper notice - it means that either one of you can give proper notice and end the current lease consistent with its terms.
