Dear all,
We've been living in our apt. for more than 12 years. Our landlord got sick and a member of his family decided to sell the building. Unfortunately we all became month-to-month tenants while our landlord was in the hospital sick.
So now the building has been sold. The company that bought it informed us by phone that they want us out by the end of January, and sent us by email a "Surrender Agreement" that they want us to sign and return to them.
I uploaded the agreement for you to see here: http://www.movingimageresearch.org/surr ... eement.jpg
I find this absolutely humiliating.
Does anyone know what can happen if I refuse to sign?
I didn't refuse to leave when they told me in the phone, I was more in shock than anything!
We really don't want to move out, but after reading your forum I understand that as month-to-month tenants we have no rights. But do we have to be humiliated like this?
Please let me know. I just want to write them back that we'll be leaving by the date they told us, but that I refuse to sign the "Surrender Agreement"
Is that ok? Could you please advice?
Thank you so much in advance
