    Default Can Landlord Break a Lease Without Notice

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

    I signed a 4 month lease, with month-to-month status to take effect after the 4 months. My landlord has filed bankruptcy, but stated previously that he would keep the house. 2 days ago, with no warning, he left me a voice mail stating that he's giving the house back to the guy from whom he signed a land contract. I don't really mind who my landlord is, but I'm satisfied with the current terms of the lease and don't want to get into a situation where my rent is raised or where I'm forced to sign a new long-term lease. What are my rights/options? It seems that if I, the tenant, just decided to break the terms of the lease, there would be great repercussions.

    If we can assume that by "giving the house back to the guy from whom he signed a land contract" you mean that he's simply reconveying the property back to the who from whom he was purchasing it, then the transaction would remain subject to your lease. Your lease, of course, is subject to termination upon proper notice.
