Good Evening,
So our awful Landlords finally sold our apartment building. A management company is representing the owner. They reached out to us about a potential buyout. We informed them our priority is to stay in our current apartment, but we're open to negotiation if it benefits us. They said they couldn't meet the number we were looking for to leave out right which i figured. They mentioned moving to another apartment in the building or moving to a similar apartment in the neighborhood for the same price and same rent stabilized protections. Should I trust them to actually leave the building and go to another building? Obviously I told them everything would have to be in writing and i would have a lawyer review any offer. They also said they wanted to gut every apartment in the building even the newer apartments. This tells me they're looking to possibly make these condos. Don't they have to offer us the opportunity to purchase our apartment at a below market rate if they do this? Please advise. Thanks so much.
