Tricky Lease inquiry

[coolway]

Here's the issues:
First, my 1 yr lease expired September 30th, 2000.I kept on paying the rent on the first as usual.
However,there is no provision in it for conversion to month to month. Nor is there a renew option.
On 11/06/2000 i received a letter stating the house is
for sale and till it is sold, we will adopt a month to month
status.
Questions: If i have not signed or agreed to a month to month lease, is it assumed because I keep paying the rent
that such an agreement exists ?
Do i even have a legal lease obligation at this point ?
The original lease was 60 days notice. Is it now 30 days ?

Since you did not tell us what state you live in it would be difficult to say for sure but in most states yours would be considered a month-to-month and you would be bound by the statutory laws concerning month-month tenancy which ususally requires 30 days notice by both parties. In other words, you probably do have a legal lease obligation according to your states L/T laws.
