 *A lease that says you must stay for a certain length of time, but doesn't say when you must move out. This type of lease is better for tenants. With this type of lease, if you want to stay on after the lease ends and rent month-to-month you do not have to sign a newagreement. If you want to move on the date that your lease expires, you must give a full month's notice in writing to your landlord.
+===If you get a new landlord===
+If your place is sold, the new landlord can’t make you a sign a new lease, or change the rules in your agreement. The new landlord also can’t evict you for landlord use until the fixed term lease expires.
+===Changing agreements===
+If your landlord gives you a new agreement when you are already living in a place, you don’t have to sign it if you have a month-to-month tenancy or a lease that goes month-tomonth at the end of the term of the lease. However, you would have to sign a new agreement if you have a fixed term lease that ends on a certain date with the stipulation that you have to move out at the end of the term. It’s best to avoid fixed term agreements with a move out date because the landlord may change the terms or raise the rent if you want to sign a new agreement and stay.
