    Default Who Gets Your Rent Payments After Your Landlord Sells the Rental Property

    A California landlord has sold a rental home, but has not provided the tenant with any information about the buyer or any instruction on how rent is to be paid now that the sale has been completed. Does the landlord still have rights to come onto the property, and to whom should rent be paid?

    Default Re: Who Gets Your Rent Payments After Your Landlord Sells the Rental Property

    In broad terms, until there is a new lease or an assignment of the lease, the lease agreement continues to govern -- and the tenant may make rent payments as instructed in the lease. It is possible that the landlord, although no longer the owner, is going to act as the new owner's property manager over the short term, or possibly even over the longer term.

    The tenant should ask the landlord to clarify the situation.
