What is the name of your state? New York
Hopefully someone can help me. My friend Lisa and I have been renting a 3 bdrm apartment for 3 years. We just bought a house in both our names, the closing date(for now) is sept. 30. Our landlord just sold the house we rent, the closing is mid-october, supposedly. Is there any way to legally break our lease that is up in June, 2006? Wouldn't changing landlords void the lease? I would think the new owner would have to get us to sign a new lease seeing that the wrong landlord will be on our old lease for the next 7 months. My current landlord will not give us the name of the new buyer, so I can't work something out with them. Please help.
Thanks,
Maureen
